xxv key benefits are

* easy extendible perl framework
* scaleable to control one or many VDRs, with one interface
* multiple interfaces 
   - HTML over HTTPD,
   - XML over HTTPD,
   - JSON/TXT over HTTPD,
   and as proof of concept
   - WAP (rudimentary functional), 
   - TELNET,
   - SOAP
* many skins (html/xstyle/snow/stone/blue/-_flat/...)
  see also new skin jason as RIA *1)
* Core feature
  - searchable, sortable EPG (Electronic programming guide)
  - view and edit timer, recording, channels, autotimer
  - remote control and monitor video signal
  - integrated live tv streaming (need streamdev plugin)
  - stream recordings 
      over HTTP for internal browser plugins (with start seeking)
      or alternative as playlist over SMB/NFS for external players
  - view list of recordings with preview images
  - adjustable user access level/roles
  - autotimer administrable without dependency to any vdr plugin 
* many nice additional feature, like
