Note that you shouldn't be using EIT on the same channel for which you're using XMLTV or using Schedules Direct.</blockquote><div><br>I believe this is our bingo. I do use Schedules Direct. Looking just now, prompted by your analysis, I found that for some brainless reason I also had the EIT checkbox ticked on this source. (Maybe when I configured it I was thinking "the more information the better," but I couldn't say for sure.) Since it now seems obvious to me that one shouldn't do that, I've unticked EIT and suspect I won't see this symptom again.<br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">However, based on the show you're talking about, I'm guessing you're eligible for using Schedules Direct data. If so, IMHO, $20/year is a /lot/ cheaper than coding the above correctly.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Indeed! I'm already a paid customer, and a big fan. I agree completely with your opinion of its value.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
And, when it all comes down to it, what happened is actually the best possible result. MythTV recorded too much instead of too little.<br></blockquote><div><br>Quite so! And precisely why this was more of a "hmmmm" than a "dammit" to me. My only possible "beef" in this situation, if I *really* wanted to have one, would be the absence of a programid in the listings, although I wouldn't know whether to blame Schedules Direct or indeed the broadcaster for that -- and it's of negligible consequence anyway. So I'm cool.<br>
<br>All of that said, I'm going to declare case closed, lesson learned, NBF (no bug found), and rock on.<br><br>Thanks again,<br>EW<br></div></div>
