So first of all, this is not a VDR bug ;-) Whatever EPG data you send to one of the VDR instances doesn't mean a thing to the other VDR instance. You also shouldn't set the two instances to have the same epg.data file, because they would end up overwriting each other's output. You can use the SVDRP command PUTE to send the data from one instance's epg.data file to the other instance. Klaus
