Frankly, I never understood why it would be simpler to enter an arbitrary
number (which is - or at least was - only available in specific tv guides)
instead of channel/date/time. With channel/date/time I can see exactly
what will happen. With an arbitrary number I can only hope that this will
be the correct data. There will definitely be no ShowView support in VDR
(at least not from my side).
