But IMHO this sounds like a feature of VDR 2.0 ;-) It does have the added overheads of running MySQL on what might be a low-power system, slower startup, etc. Then again, reading large amounts of EPG data, etc. from what can be huge flat files should improve things! Maybe it could be a build-time option... Laz
