For those of you not speaking german but interested in this discussion:

The thread in this forum explains, that the broadcasters "disturb" their 
EPG knowingly to avoid unauthorized missuse by commercial third parties.

My comment:

ARRRG!!! Damn it! :-(
Now we have even copyright issues on program guides not only the program!

For me, this means that I will have to look for a solution using 
somethink like tvmovie2vdr on a offline host using my notebook as 
"manual" uplink.

Has anyone already a solution for that, e.g. using a special tvmovie2vdr 
to donwload the program guides during the day at work/university and 
importing them in the evening to my vdr system?

CU/all
