Uh, oh, a complete lack of RTFM from my side, sorry... Would that mean
that EPG is never scanned at all, and that it will after a while be
outdated? I think I had it set to 0 a few months ago too, as it was
suggested to improve stability, but I did always have accurate EPG data
back then too. So is there some other "automatic" EPG feed that VDR will
receive?
