Probably because no one in an ATSC-country wants to use VDR (or is unable to add ATSC-stuff and support to VDR). If you want to implement it, try the following: Get the latest vdr-version from here (currently 1.3.25): ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Developer/ Understand the channels.conf-formats currently existing for DVB-S/C/T. Adapt a format to be appropriate for ATSC channels. (IMHO, a good start would be to think about the PSIP-VCT-attributes, besides basic tuning information.) Create a patch to current scan to be able to put out VDR-comaptible channels.confs. Hmm, it's even better to contact the vdr-mailing-list first about that. Maybe someone already thought about it (http://www.linuxtv.org/lists.php). Good luck, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/
