Note that there are two ways to run epg2timers: Some people (myself included) run it between executions of VDR (so epg2timers modifies the timers.conf file directly while VDR is not running), others run it in parallel (maybe even on a different machine) and use SVDRP to send the new timer entries to a running VDR.
