Hi all,

Hopefully this is the right section, but Mods please feel free to move to the EPG if you think its more appropriate there.

My VMC has been pretty good all round, but there was one question Ive been meaning to ask with regards to scheduled programs and the guide.

The scenario is that you set up the guide, everything works, so you set up a few series recordings (i.e House/NCIS etc) all works fine and the guide, without any user intervention picks up the re-occurance of each show.

Now, guide messes up, so you re-setup the guide (as before using the same epg service)
Scheduled recordings are still listed in the 'series' list, but no upcoming showings.
So, go to the guide, find 'House' or 'NCIS' (exactly the same as before, spelling etc), check that is has no red dot/double red dot next to it and hit record. VMC reports "already part of a series recording, do you want to add it now?", you hit yes, the red dot appears and all is OK....until you realise none of the scheduled showings have the double red dot next to them, but all bring up the same pop-up??
If left, they dont record.

Is there anyway of backing up/restoring so that all the scheduled recordings come back, and are scheduled to record if the guide messes up?
I know there is the recording.xml file(?) but what does this do?
its almost as though the guide/ehrec service needs to be refreshed from the scheduled recordings?

Anyone provide any clues as to whats the way to ensure your scheduled recordings come back after a rebuild/re-setup of the guide?

Cheers
