But IMHO this sounds like a feature of VDR 2.0 ;-) > For a start one could just use the same DB-tables and structures as the current EPG/configuraton files are.

A compiler switch would then select between the two classes at compile time. Unfortunately I don't have enough C++ skills to do it myself. Renne
