Recently my TV turned yellow and I'm not sure how to pinpoint the issue. I've updated PEG 123 to the latest version, and everything else looks to be working. Is there something in the log that requires attention?

Thanks,

You'll have to do a save and execute to download the additional days. In the past, SD would typically give US customers up to 21 days, but I think it is typically around 17 days now.

2 - I have read the 123 install guide and many of the 123 problem threads and most of the procedures is beyond my knowledge. Thus 123 is an option but only a last option if guide data runs out.

I never cared what you do, one way or the other.

Try closing the client GUI and reopening it. You may have setup your tuners after the client was already opened, so it is not aware that it has been done.

EPG123 Client Backup generates a .zip file that contains a file lineup.mxf. I have one channel that used to be fine, but now seems to be a little off: green blocks, stuttering, etc. Can I change DvbTuningInfo / frequency (with 1/6 of a MHz), then import lineup.mxf, to actually fine-tune the channel?

Interesting question. A few thoughts though.

If you change the frequency, it will be for the transponder so it will be for more than that single channel.

In order to do this, you would have to the updated lineup.mxf file. If you import the file while your tuners are already setup, you will end up...
