Asterisks in the Program Name
#1
I noticed some of my guide entries have an asterisk following the title and others do not. Is this something generated by IPTV-EPG? If so, can you share the meaning of the asterisk. I searched for asterisk on this forum and did not find any other thread on the topic.

As an example, the program "CBS Evening News" is listed like that on most local feeds, but some of them are listed "CBS Evening News *".

Can you please name at least one channel by tvg-id so we can look at it?
The asterisk is not coming from us.
