In your setup.conf you should have: UseVps = 1 VpsFallback = 1 VpsMargin = 120 The last one sets the number of seconds before the scheduled start time that VDR begins monitoring the p/f table for the event start. Also whenever you set a new timer you need to set the 'flag' field to 5 - if using vdradmin-am tick the 'use VPS' box in the New Timer window - as well as setting the start time with no margin. > Do I also need your tvanytime patch for this to work?

The TVAnytime patch includes this VPS Fallback patch, but you don't need the rest of it just to do accurate recording.
