Hi

Here i have a configuration nearly like yours:


In the Livingroom i have a VDR with several Cardīs and Harddrives connected to a
second SERVER with aditional harddrives wich is under the roof (dachboden)

at the (dachboden) i have a aditional  VDR-Machine with 2 Cardīs running 
2 Different VDR-Instances - one for the "sleeping-Room" and one for the 
Office.

The TV of the sleeping-Room is connected trough a 433mhz Wireless TV-System wich
transfers also the IR-Signal.

The Office TV is connected by 2 cable  (Signal + IR)

this configuration works realy good...

I undersatand your problem with the Timers.conf

I think there is a near ready solution in the TVTV.DE (EPG2TIMERS) Package.

In this package is a script wich take the programmed Timers out of the VDR via Telnet
delte all Timers and programm all timers new.

im not a BIG Scipter - but i think that itīs possible to modify the script in a way
that it read the TImers out of VDR1 and sent them to VDR2...

Thatīs all...

And yes - the modification (VDR donīt record) is realy smal... - ask klaus - 
perhaps i have to seek in my Mail-Archive - klaus have mailed this small 
change to me some time ago....
