Thanks. If I recall, you have a pretty complex setup to navigate and I really hope EPG123 can get you most of the way there if not all the way. Thanks for the feedback as well ... it really helps.

The call sign comes with the guide listings when it is assigned to a channel. Not optimal, but you can rename all your station call signs to your preferred names manually in the client or within WMC.

Unfortunately the tool is primarily targeted to USA users. It takes a lot of time/energy to create and update the transfer database which links MS series IDs with Gracenote series IDs. Because of that, I have limited myself to only 4 providers in 2 large markets and all 4 being inside the US.
What do you mean by "only two shown" ... was there only 2 that were green to transfer? or were there literally only 2 shown on the left side? If the latter, could you send me your recordings file so I can take a look? Not sure why that would happen at the moment.

I'll be re-enabling the maximize button and allowing the form to grow larger than 800x600. This should make it work better with the 125% and 150% settings. Thanks for reminding me to revisit this.

There shouldn't have been a zombie instance ... the client is supposed to "sleep" and wake when the current recordings are scheduled to end or within 1 hour, whichever is sooner. A manual import, of course, does not have that limitation. I plan on creating a task bar icon in the system tray for the client so users can know when the client is sleeping and waiting its turn. Hopefully in next release.

My understanding is the updates for some markets over there get updated only once a week (Thursdays?) and will typically have 2 weeks at that time. The guide will eventually be reduced to 1 week until the next update which goes back to 2 weeks. If some other UK users can fill in or correct me, feel free.
