I know it's a common moan when programmes overrun & mess up recordings.
Well this afternoon the darts underran by about 10 minutes, so they stuck
on a short bit of Coast to fill. After watching this I flicked open the
guide & Coast had appeared in there, right before Jason & The Argonauts.
Is there a bloke somewhere updating the guide data? I was impressed by how
quickly this happened, it wasn't there at the start.
I'm using a HTPC running Windows 7MC.

Yes. The EPG schedule is linked (or should be !) to the broadcaster's playout
computer, so if they 'dragged and dropped' a mini-Coast into the schedule,
that sould indeed be reflected in the EPG data (as long as your receiver
responds to updates)

Mind you, I'm not convinced the special effects in J&TA get the full
benefit of being in HD :-)

Doesn't always work though. Set series record for "Public Enemies"
last week and found yesterday that I had Stephen Lawrence Special and
only the first two episodes of PE. iPlayer to the rescue yet again.

Assuming that you set a series link, I can see why you might have got the
"special, but I can't see any reason why it would have missed off the final
ep, unless the fault was with the broadcaster.

WMC uses it's own EPG source, independent of the
broadcast data. This is updated over the Internet
connection, and I thought this was normally scheduled
for once a day, but maybe it updates more often when
the application is running.
