The problem is not to get a correct time for the VDR-PC, the problem is 
that you can't reliably set timers using the EPG (especially if you use 
automated tools like master-timer).
But nevertheless it would be useful for time-synchronisation if we could 
configure a channel to be used for that (and ignoring time-info from others).
