EPG update issues

[sub]

If you hit the 'update epg' button, does it pull in the full listings, or the same partial listings?

Hello.
If i go in to the settings, updtate EPG, all is OK.

is NDigitalHost.exe running in your process list now (ie, while not recording or updating the EPG)?

Recording is now in progress. I will check later, but i believe it is running.

SUB, the "ndigitalhost-20.log" is still updating, so this means NDigitalHost.exe is running, right?

Just one note - when i checked EPG today, it was empty. So i started live TV on that channel, then exit and then all EPG data appeared - will this somehow help you?

I know you can't test it easily, but I'd be interested to know if you kill ndigitalhost.exe prior to the EPG update, whether you then end up with a full guide after the EPG update.

If i understan you correctly - i should
1) kill ndigitalhost.exe
2) do manuall EPG update (should i firstlly empty EPG?)
3) check if EPG was updated

Right?

It was more a case of kill any ndigitalhost.exe instances just prior to the time the over night EPG update occurs (so that no recordings happen before the epg update starts)

OK, i did some tests.
I restarted my HTPC, start and exit NPVR - ndigitalhost.exe is not running
I started NPVR, start live TV, exit NPVR and ndigitalhost.exe is running in background.

Is that OK? Should ndigitalhost.exe be killed when my HTPC going in to sleep?

It starts with the first use of the device, and generally stays running. There are some situations where it will terminate when the user stops using the device. I've got a theory it relates to this process hanging around, and wondered if you killing it prior to your EPG update would cause you to get a good epg update.
