Hmmm ... I'd use the timer menu (OK vdr-1.0.4) for several series
like StarTrek (NG, DS9), some more and Sentinel.  It work flawless,
nevertheless the starting time of Sentinel at Kabel1 are always moving
around between 22:00 and 23:00 ... in other words it would be nice to
have the possiblitiy to say within VDRs timer menu "Be ready at 22:00
but do only record if found the start time of series within the EPG data"
