Indeed it does look very interesting: it's really annoying when things get repeated several times during the week. Should make life a bit easier rather than making epgsearch look for really specific timers! I will try to give it a go. On another Freeview specific note, I'd love to have my channels renumbered to their "proper" Freeview numbers. At the moment, I have to go through and move them about by hand every time something changes! I don't think there is currently any support for assigning channels a specific number within vdr (probably not much point with gazillions of satellite channels but more useful with the handful of terrestrial Freeview ones in the UK).
