Yes, but i don't want additionally wires in the living room.

To do that i need an extra PC with a browser.

But only if i have recorded it or am watching "life"?

I don't understand why i should go to tvtv.de to get those
infos, the vdr-box already had some seconds before.

The data volume to store is completely negletable compared to the
video streams.



tvtv might be good for far future planing.
But I don't know how long tvtv.de will allow free access.
