Ah, yeah - if conflict's not currently highlighted (and having poked through tvlisting_area.py I can see it's not), that's a bigger problem, I agree. > Duplicates, are not that important, I tend to let them record in case > the first one is corrupt, quite often happens with the PVR-350, loss of > audio about twice a week. Yeah, but I've only just got a DVD writer fitted, so disk space is tight; also it diminishes the value of the "upcoming recordings" information on screen and on the web, especially with the number of Torchwood repeats the BBC puts on. > > It'd also be nice (if we're making the background of the listings grid > > changable) to shade-out programmes in the past. > > Hmm You also wrote: > However, what is needed is a way to show when two or more programs > overlap, so an extra field in the TvProgram object is required to > indicate this condition.

Having looked at adding an additional item type of "past" for programmes which have already started, I'd imagine you'd add a "conflict_val" to the vals list in src/skins/main/tvlisting_area.py, and add a check for prg.conflict in update_content() ?
