It would probably work mostly the same way: Tweak the wakeup > time, detect this on wakeup, start the EPG scan, go offline. perhaps this is too trivial, but why not create a daily or whatever timer as you suggested before with a special name like '@epgscan' and react on that? VDR would not create a recording for this timer but start an EPG scan and shut down, if no other timer is active. I think this is quite simple to implement. One could even extend this to a more generic approach: '@command1' as timer file could execute a command in line 1 of commands.conf, that is e.g. an external EPG update script. BR, Christian
