EPG Went AWOL

Black Hole

May contain traces of nut
I had one of these incidents this week. One of my HDRs mainly sits there gathering and converting radio recordings for use in the car, and when I went looking for them nothing had recorded since Wednesday despite there being no obvious crash. What's more, the schedule showed no pending recordings for the entries. Thinking all the CRIDs might have been mucked up, I went checking the EPG... but there was nothing there.

We know there are various bugs, including the EPG going stale if there isn't a regular channel change, but I have daily dummy reminders in the schedule to guard against that (and simultaneously defeat the OTA search), and this has not happened before.

A reboot sorted it, so perhaps the EPG daemon had crashed.

You should have checked before rebooting, not speculating afterwards.
In any case, that won't stop it recording, just updating the WebIf's EPG, unless the tuners have stopped working (I get this periodically).
