Pending list gradually runs out

[xcivic5]

I have used the latest version for some time and have been happy with everything about it except one major problem: My pending list runs out after about 10 days. I constantly have to delete and reenter all reccurring programs. I've played with numerous settings including the EPG update (which is now turned off) to no avail. This also happened in the previous version. This latest version worked for about two months and then the problem started occurring and has been ongoing now for several months. Anybody got any ideas?

What EPG source are you using? If its xmltv, are you keeping the file up to date with current listings?

Aha! If I select "none" under EPG source my pending list is blank. If I select "XMLTV" I get an error when I do an EPG update. If I select "DVB EPG Broadcast" I can do an EPG update with no error and my pending list magically reappears. It seems to be able to to an update even if not connected to the Internet so what it's updating I'm not sure, but as long as my pendings are not deleted I'm happy. I've selected it to do the update at 3am when no program is scheduled. I will see how this works. Thanks

You shouldnt be changing your EPG source. 'None' will give you no listings. 'DVB EPG' is invalid in north america, and wont give you listings.

If you use XMLTV as your EPG source, and get an error when you try the update, then I'd probably need the error message or config.exe.log to tell you what is wrong with your xmltv file.
