I was reading through the streamdev source code today, and allthough I don't understand it a 100% yet,

If anyone wants to write a VDR plugin to support the device directly, I can provide network dumps of the communication between the extender and the server.

I'm not interested in using SageTV software, but I'd like to use this device with
VDR.. if possible. And possibly help developing a vdr plugin :)
