Hey Andreas
Last night I tried recording "2 Fast 2 Furious" on ITV
They cut the movie and inserted the News about half way through. This did not appear in the EPG so teh recording stopped 10 minutes into the news.... Is that an EPG issue or something that vdradmin should have picked up?
Usually on ITV and Five if the Film is split by the news there is two EPG's for the Film (one before news and one after). It's something you need to be on the lookout for (gets me sometimes).
Same here: it's a right pain in the backside when they do this! There isn't a simple solution to it, either, because the EPG isn't always correct and the gap can vary greatly.
I tend to just extend the finish time so only get one recording, (easier to edit if you wish to keep, etc)....
I even do the same when there is half-an-hour of news in the middle of a film: makes it much simpler to edit and put onto DVD than trying to splice two separate recordings.
Cheers,
