Hi sa2000
You are right, I do have that option enabled.
In fact, I had an old Macbook Pro kicking around, and I’ve set that up as the TV/DVR server using Plex. The Drobo continues to be a Plex server, but only for my archived music, images and home video.
THank you for helping me out here.
This community is very helpful

6 hours still seems like a lot. How long did it take after you switched “enhanced guide” off?
I never tried the Drobo with the enhanced guide switched off. It became clear very quickly that the Drobo simply could not handle anything to do with TV as a Plex server. It is great for storage, but really bad at processing any data.
The Drobo contains 5 NAS-optimised drives each of 4TB, with dual redunancy, with a 256GB SSD; in case anyone is interested.
The Drobo no longer has anything to do with recording or scheduling TV. It’s simply too slow.
The 2011 MacBook works fine, though downloading the guide takes a few minutes. I still have the enhanced guide enabled, though to be honest, I should probably switch it off, as it does not add any significant content. I’d wanted the same level of information on each programme as comes with the Freeview guide, but even the enhanced guide does not deliver that.
I’m still getting to know the set up and in fact getting used to a different way of watching TV. Instead of watching what is on, just because it is on, I can now record multiple channels in HD, and choose what to watch.
Previously I had only a Blu-Ray with two tuners, and a small HDD, so tended to record one thing while watching another and only record in SD to conserve HDD space.
Now I can record pretty much anything in HD, and only watch the things that I actually have a desire to watch (and incidentally, skip through adverts, if they are on).
I’m sorting out the preferences on the control panel, helping the rest of the family to use the system and so on.
At present the extended programme guide is quite a low priority. I’ll get to it once I have sorted out the best way of running the system, sharing the content around the family and accessing TV programmes.
All good fun 
And thanks once more for your help. I really do appreciate it.

I have measured a factor of 10:1 between enhanced to normal epg refresh.
wow.

Still seeing issues with the New Episodes Tonight section
Not sure if it is picking up the +1 versions of the channels
The 2 highlighted shows as an example both show airing at 19:30, which is an hour wrong, select the episode and it shows the correct time
Not sure if of any use to anyone - but some issues on the EPG I’ve noticed. Just keeping an eye out to make sure no airings are missed by my server! 
006 @ 21:00PM 25th January - Love Island should be S6E14 rather than S6E7 . NEW tag to remain.
005 , 105 @ 20:00PM 27th January - Traffic Cops should be S5 E18 , rather than S5 E4 .
I have looked into this. It is not wrong. What is wrong is when you click on it to open it up, it is displaying the earlier airing instead. I will raise this confusing behavior with the Plex Web app team.
“New Episodes Tonight” is defined to be for period 7pm to 11pm - so the 7:30 airing is the right one to show
If it’s based upon 7pm to 11pm how does that work for this one
Airs at 7pm
Yet new tonight shows it at 8pm
To me this feature looks like it is making +1 and other secondary channels the priority instead of the main channel that airs the show
Looks like a similar underlying bug in Plex Web app. I will add it to the other issue.
Any ETA yet?
That’ll be a no then will it?
Is this ever going to be fixed? Is there anything you can share that might be useful for a paying customer?
@sa2000 Any update please? Nearly 9 months broken now.
I am sorry but I have no update on the split movies issue (split by News).
It is acknowledged as being an issue and it is on the list of issues to be fixed.
Any closer to this being fixed? Now 9 months since first reported.
I regret that we have a setback on this and it now needs to be fixed in our ingestion process.
It is on the list of developments but is held back at the moment because of some re-engineering of the ingestion process to improve its reliability. Once that is complete then I will push for this to be addressed
Thanks for the response.
The EPG information in Scotland appears to be garbage, BBC One Scotland shows me EPG data for a lot of England shows example 3pm through till 6pm has the wrong shows then it gets back on track. Half the channels dont get a channel number assigned to them and I have to manually map them. The ones that do work have a 90% chance of having no guide data.
Disappointed to say the least
