Check the system clock (including the year, I once had the clock 1 year in the future), and check the dates of the epg entries: You'll notice lines like that in epg.data: E 7056 1145559780 3420 4E 1D .. starting with E. Take the big number and re-calculate the date: perl -e "print scalar localtime 1145559780" Thu Apr 20 21:03:00 2006 This date should of course be in the near future. Cheers, Udo
