VDR will update/replace all EPG entries according to the new tables. There shouldn't be double entries. > If EPG time is in UTC, than that's a mystery how should those coupled > channels be handled. As I said, each channel has its own SID, and therefore its very own EPG data, which needs to be adjusted to the actual broadcast times of that channel. As an example: if you have two channels, say ABC and ABC+1, where ABC+1 broadcasts everything one hour later that ABC, then if the air time of event XY is 8:00 for channel ABC, it needs to be 9:00 for channel ABC+1. All times given in UTC, of course. Klaus _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
