The crashing problem would be better address by making it part of VDR. I
am trying to make scripts to use Schedules Direct because even if VDR
was picking up what the broadcasters send, the broadcasters themselves
are unreliable and half assed at sending eit. But if the seg fault when
trying to scan for new channels where fixed, that would help.

ATSC is the standard for OTA broadcast in the US now. It would be nice

data and scanning for channels hasn't been updated in 2 years. It
still has problems. on my x64 system, it seg faults most of the time
when trying to scan for
channels. It's more of a fluke that when it does work. And
boradcasters don't follow the standards or something because I often
don't have guide data when a 60$ converter box is able to find guide
data.
It would be nice to have its functions moved to VDR and then just dump
the plugin. It served it's purpose when ATSC was just starting to be
used, but it's time to build it in instead of it being an after thought.
I don't think that problems would be fixed any better if this were
part of the official VDR code. If the original author no longer maintains
the code, somebody else should take over and fix it.
VDR is mainly written for the *DVB* standard. Anything else should be
external.
