Perhaps I missed the point but I can't see a good reason why the average 
vdr user (tm) should register anywhere. To get a (serial) number?
Since this is optional, it will not give you any clue how many vdrs are 
out there.

You have to estimate based on the number of users on the ML (730) and 
the number of downloads (13000). I guess that 10% of the users are on 
the list --> 7000 users.

Just my 2 cents.
