Klaus,

Thank for the feedback :)

Sky broadcast seven days in advance, it's a hell of a lot of data. The 
still broadcast now and next, but decided to use there own format 
instead of now + next + next. In brief, their compressed data provides 
full program descriptions with PPV events etc too.

Yes, assuming that you're happy for the VDR machine to talk to the 
appropriate website. Pulling the realtime EPG feed from the satellite 
mean you can pick up recent program changes and delays.

The big benefit for me is.... seven days in advance and realtime changes 
where necessary, also - I don't have to feed the VDR from the web.

Regards,

Steve
