Yes, I'm glad to hear that too :)
The timeout problem really bothers me, but I don't have a clue where to begin..

Looks pretty good.  My mplayer problems were solved by using the CVS version
(thanks Nico), perhaps it's worth a go to see if it handles the uris properly
for you.  Also, you won't get anything from the dvr0 device unless something is
telling it to feed some streams.  The easiest way to do this is to use tzap
with the -r option.
