Yes I think I probably made a mistake, it seems to be correctly preferring Tuner B for recordings now.Originally Posted by simonc
Sorry folks.
With regards to the multiple options, that is also presented with button setup when more than one function is assigned.

I don't seem to be able to create an autotimer that doesn't record repeats with the same short description as a previous recording of the same show. It only records the show once and never again AFAICS.
I'm pretty certain it worked before.
Could that be due to me using the EPG files test, phase 2 Button mods.
I will try reverting to normal 5.3.033.
Nope. Dunno why I can't seem to do it now
Interesting, we could do that but it would be a more complicated button setup process.
Simple is best. I have uploaded a copy of the previous mod on Dev side for you.
I think it's working but not for a particular show (on a particular channel).
Are the short and long descriptions not the same as the text I see when looking through the EPG?
How can they always be the same for one particular show when I see different descriptions in the EPG?
No issues in 5.3.034, apart from the crash when exiting the bouquet list, mentioned before in 5.3.033.

With help of debug statements, this is the line that causes crash.
I upgraded to 034 and ran it for a couple of days but something weird was going on with the EPG. A weeks worth of events were in the EPG but all entries for than 2 or 3 days ahead showed as blank (no title, no description or a few caracters of rubbish description - almost nothing except the start and end times).
I didn't reinstall the "EPG files test, phase 2: Button mods" so I guess I was running 034 without these?
I've restored my image of 033 with the new mod tests, restored my latest settings and now and the EPG is okay!
This is weird!
Am I going mad and seeing things?
Attached are latest set of files.
Fixes the crash that was reported earlier.
Allows usage of Ch+/CH- for paging. Default is 24hour jumps
The number selection that AndyBlac added to Enhanced EPG 7 years ago has been extended to apply to Grid EPG. Option is currently called "Number buttons mode", default is off. It works without issue on the bouquet you are in.
EDIT:
Also with the OK button change referred to below
Some skin changes are required to fully support these. Draft files attached and go in /usr/share/enigma2/

Up and running ok here.
Can I make a suggestion about the ok button in grid epg. I'm used to it giving program info, rather than zapping. Any chance of that option?
For me, the info key is awkward whereas the navigation buttons are all together.
Long press could still zap.
Daft question....
What's the back button?Pressing back moves the selection back to the current time, then the service the EPG opened on
On grid and multi EPGs a third press moves the selection to the first service

.... found the back button, but I don't think all remotes have one.
Not all remotes are the same, so it is an impossible task to make something that will work for everyone. Those without a button won't benefit from additions and will function the same as now. Just like how Vu receivers lose out on info/epg differences. I don't have a Help or back button on my remote. The info button is in near middle though.
Rewind/FFWd buttons do nothing in EPG, most remotes have them. One of the main issues was that people don't know what the buttons do. To me, adding more button functions just adds to complexity. There has to be a balance/compromise.
Adding another option to ok would make no difference to the complexity - it's already in the menu and, like all the alternatives, you use them if you want to.
There are already hundreds of permutation and combinations.
