It would be nice for us NTSC users to not have to patch VDR but clearly adding NTSC hasn't been a priority for any european developer. You miss the whole point it seems, which is -progress-. I hope you aren't suggesting that improving software, making it more robust, and making it more useful to more people is a bad thing! Also, clean up what mess? Do you think VDR's contributors are just a bunch of lamed coders writing lamed code? > I did not always agree with Klaus and his task list but!

You can't possibly think that all software using an open-dev environment is unstable garbage!! The linux kernel seems to manage. DVB drivers seem to manage. Countless software seems to manage just fine! > P.S.: Let them check out MythTV or something else. We'll welcome them soon. > And if not? So what? How far do you think that attitude will take you? Do you really have no care at all for the VDR users. People, like myself, who have been dedicated VDR users for many years now. Are you going to tell me too bad and that I should just install MythTV instead? When VDR progress is painfully slow or stopped, how does VDR or the users benefit by this? When VDR doesn't support things that are average/standard/etc., how does VDR or the users benefit by this? I will NOT apologize for wanting VDR to continue to grow, get better, become more useful, and at least stay in line with the current times. I will NOT apologize for being disappointed to see so many users abandon VDR due to lack of needed features. I have used VDR for many years and have helped many new people to dvb get their VDR systems running. I completely appreciate the work of Klaus and everyone else thats contributed to its development and I will not be sorry for wanting it to continue forward!! _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
