Before I install this latest release, can you help me understand what is meant by "- implement strict EPG mapping?"

Thanks.

The note is technically incomplete since it already exists in Windows, 7.0.3 implemented it in Linux so it likely won't impact you. In any case for DVB based systems in rare reception cases it is necessary to use multiple identifiers to uniquely identify the OTA EPG listings. Think of it as having the same channel number for two different stations.

Thanks, Martin. Two diffenent stations with the same channel number? Whew! Glad I dodged that one.

I've upgraded nextpvr on my server. What does this mean?

"- fix for sleep being disabled on Live TV channel change"

The server used to sometimes stay awake forever after a channel change?

Yes you were involved with the discussion https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=66473  The issue was on a channel change without a stop.
