According to Windows, the NRecord log hasn't updated since 18/05/2015. On thinking about it, that's a bit weird. I used NextPVR yesterday and today. Here it is for info if it helps.
NPVR Recording Service was listed as running when I checked just now. I restarted the recording service after checking. I didn't notice any changes in the services listed as running, or processes.
As mentioned, I really wanted to see manual EPG update, and automated EPG update from the same time of day (both after an 'empty epg'), so I can compare the two. It looks like these are just showing the automated EPG update.
