While my DVB EPG problems are being sorted out (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=20123) I've decided to have a play with the xml grabber - but I've got myself in a bit of a mess
Q1 - because the dvbEPG and xml grabber name some of the channels differently I now have a BBC1 and a BBC ONE (and plenty of other examples) in the TV guide, both mapped to the same tuning request. Can I schedule a recording on either and expect it to work OK?
Q2 - I have two tuners, can I leave one on DVB EPG update and change one to the xml plugin (temporarily) and expect GBPVR to syncronise the data correctly?
Q3 - Do my scheduled recordings 'look' for the channel name, or the tuning request? i.e. if the DVBEPG data is missing on BBC1, will the scheduler still record the show on BBC ONE via the xml EPG data?
Obviously the best option would be to wipe all my (DVBEPG) capture sources and start afresh with the XML grabber, but I've got loads of scheduled recordings that I realy don't want to have to setup again.
So Q4 is: Is there a way to export pending/scheduled recordings and be able to reimport them again after I've changed EPG data source (possibly also having to account for the channel name differences)?
Or I could just wait and see if the DVBEPG gets fixed..... (whoever said patience was a virtue never had to fear about the girlfriend missing an episode of Robin Hood )
