Hi.

I can't find how to disable the built-in EPG update in XBMC (pvr test). Anyone as an idea?

It's because EPG is handled by TvHeadend ; and when XBMC updates it to get the crappy EPG provided by channels it mess up record schedules.

I tried the "Ignore the Database for PVR-Server EPG" but it seems useless.

Thanks.
that option should disable epg updates from the server afaik. what repos and revision are you using?
Hi.

I'm using http://ppa.launchpad.net/lars-opdenkamp/...vr/ubuntu/ lucid/main xbmc 2:10.4-dharma+pvr~odk45

After further investigations I found that's not an XBMC issue ; TvHeadend, at the end of the tv_grab call, is grabbing EPG from channels and merging it, I guess.

In the EPG displayed on HTS web UI, for today and tomorrow, there are some duplicated programs because the start time or the name differs (one program is from the web EPG and the other from the DVB-T channel).
