Issues


By design epg list does not update automatically - there is a button called "update guide" on the maintenance screen which does the job - it takes about twenty minutes and the GUI cannot be updated during this time, a cron job can be setup via maintenance screen to do this daily.

Does not record sub-titles or PAT/PMT information
