VDR/recording.c:

tCharExchange CharExchange[] = {
   { '~',  '/'    },
   { ' ',  '_'    },
   { '\'', '\x01' },
   { '/',  '\x02' },
   { 0, 0 }
   };

VDR needs to map the ' (single quote) and / (forward slash)
to something else. I selected character codes 0x01 and 0x02,
which don't seem to cause any trouble in VDR's operation.
To be honest, bash's TAB filename expansion was none of my
concern.
