Hey, great improvement :-) It's that what mastertimer did here before.
Hint: To delete a timer entry generated by "autotimer" in the upper table
you must first delete it in the lower table! Otherwise it will not
deleted (this is a little bit confusing).

 How often does the autotimer check the epg, to insert new events?
It seems, that it checks only if somebody access the website.
A hourly check would be useful - because some epgs (ARD) are only
2 or 3 hours in the future.
