The biggest problem is the lack of support for subtitles. And I agree that as with the current properties I am not going to use this as my main device. And you can not edit timers with it only wiev them. Also I would like for the resume to be possible while changing from vdr to mediamvp or vv. But anyway it is good for as a second device in the bedroom. It's small and makes no sound and you can use it for wieving live tv or recordings. And for Stuart, I joined the forum a long time ago :) Still remains to be answered if anyone has tried MVPVdr? \\Kartsa _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
