Hello,
[This email has been sitting in my drafts folder for a few weeks. Today I had the courage to send it.]
I was wondering if it would make sense to offer a place for VDR users using the sky_uk/freesat/S28.2E/freeview platforms to communicate with each other. The intention is that people can discuss their special needs like freesat EPG, red button stuff, channel lists, channel logos and all other things and test new inventions (like the red button extension) together.
Being a frequent user of freesat channels myself and being a member of the developers behind the yaVDR distribution (www.yavdr.org), I would like to offer to you to open up an English language community forum on our yaVDR board located at forum.yavdr.com. This board is currently mostly used by our development team for internal discussions, so there is not much to see there for external visitors yet.
Please don't get me wrong: I don't want to drag away developer discussions from this mailing list, it's more a forum where developers and users who share the same topics (freesat/freeview/SKY_UK) can communicate and solve problems related to VDR together. And knowledge could be made more accessible for new VDR users.
Maybe this could also be a good starting point for building up an English language VDR user community forum - starting off with UK/Ireland users. I always thought an English language community was missing next to the German language VDR portal (www.vdr-portal.de).
If some of you guys here are interested in such a place, please give me a short reply. It only takes me a couple of minutes to set up a new area on the forum. Or is there already a forum in place?
Regards,
Henning
