    I'll repeat, I do not harvest the Freesat epg as I have that option disabled, I only harvest the opentv stream

    What "Freesat epg", I have that disabled and only enable opentv?

    I think so.
    I've noticed that sometimes the EPG from "IEPG data 1" gets a little messed up if I leave Freesat EPG enabled and I don't even try and use VPS.
    It's annoying because there is no other obvious way to get an EPG for any of the radio channels.
    No need to respond, I don't want to steal your thread.

    SD and HD aren't the same programme, whereas dvb-t and dvb-s are

    I know - the point I'm making is that different providers are using different "eit's", neither of the ones I posted match yours.

    Edit: maybe because the one you posted was an episode broadcast 6 days ago?

    Each programme has a unique eit, HD on dvb-t or dvb-s is the same programme which is why the eit matches.
    SD is not the same programme as hd hence the different eit.
    There's also different data relating to the overarching programme and the episode within, but that doesn't seem to be exposed on enigma2 whereas with a hack it was on toppy.

    The point remains that the eit harvested from iepg-1 does not match the now/next whereas crossepg does. Which is why, when crossepg was removed and we were directed to epgrefresh/iepg-1, I started having VPS issues which prompted my original post
    I'll test the newly released new dvb-t module tomorrow.

    The pointless episode data was captured 6 days ago but not posted as the admin withdrew his incorrect post.

    Enigma2 uses service references for recordings. So those are different.

    A crazy idea.
    @Abu Why do you put up with this?

    The eit is the same, that's what's being discussed.

    Nearly all of them, that's very old text written by the German author.

    Okay.
    If someone on here suggests something I don't think is what I want I will now call it a crazy idea instead of trying to explain why it's not what I want.

    Trying to explain often just resulted in all the OpenViX fanboys on here ganging up on me with more and more ludicrous reasons to reject my ideas anyway.
