Let us ALL say THANKS to Gary the developer of EPG123 with a monetary donation to the cause.
For his relentless pursuit of perfection.

I couldn't agree more. Beyond the dedication to EPG123 itself, Gary's support is unparalleled. He always provides fast, detailed answers to questions (even when they're not about EPG123 ). I donated a while back, and I'll do so again. A one-time amount doesn't seem sufficient. :clap:

You have MS/Rovi guide data. You will need to do a to get rid of it. That would be the reason you don't have anything scheduled to record as well. You are requesting to record programs with Gracenote IDs, but you guide is full of Rovi IDs.
