Klaus, Stefan,

I must admit, I'm not too lucky with the solution needing another sheet of
paper (or maybe I'm not familiar with the "encryption scheme"). My idea with
the phone type was, that even I am able to remember this scheme because it's
getting more and more important (yes, I also hate SMS sending ;-).
Due to the fact, that I sometimes are not at home while my girlfriend is, I
sometimes program films more than one day in the future. Then I just call her
and ask her to simply turn on the VDR - that's all. But, you're right, that's
not very often. I was only wondering if it is a simple job to implement or not
(an idea, of course ;)

Maybe sometimes in the future this won't be necessary because of a "better"
EPG ...


Regards,
Jens
