Yes, I'm in the UK. On terrestrial, there are one or two channels that 
broadcast simple interactive games: I'm presuming that this is the sort of 
application that works with this plugin. Having said that, vdr doesn't add 
them to channels.conf, presumably because they don't contain any video!

When I bring up the list of applications, I have two entries which are "---". 
Are these always there or are they being transmitted? Neither of those did 
anything at all.
