I upgraded from previous vers 3.7.7 only to find now that the EPG data is now empty, I even did an "Empty EPG" and then "Update EPG" and still no joy, I reverted back to vers 3.7.7 and things are working as they should.

Is anyone else having EPG issues with vers 3.3.3?

I really like the new enhancements to the web ui. I use the web to schedule all of my recordings. I have two recording PC's, so using the web ui makes it very easy to schedule recordings. You just keep making an excellent program better with each upgrade. Thank you.
