[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1266418, member: 141969"] I use MP1, but both MP1 and MP2 use the same "TV Server", and so both MP1 and MP2 will exhibit the same TV-Server quirks. One quirk is that the marking in the EPG of programmes scheduled to record is unreliable. It has been this way for the five years that I have been using MP1. No one knows what causes it, but there were some suggestions that it is caused by a timing issue somewhere between "TV Server" and the "MP Client". It is also possible that slower systems exhibit this quirk more often than faster systems. My system exhibits this quirk quite often. Sadly, this quirk is unlikely to be cured (because no one understands the "TV Server" code anymore). The definitive way to see what is scheduled to record is to look at the "Recording Schedule" panel. This lists the programmes that will record, and in my experience with MP1, that panel is always correct. "TV Server" supports multiple flavours of repeated recording, two of which are [b]Every time on this channel[/b] and [b]Every time on every channel[/b]. Are you sure that you did not select the latter instead of the former? With MP1 I have never had recordings on (say) "BBC1 [b]SD[/b]" duplicated on "BBC1 [b]HD[/b]". -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
