For sure, but I use my vdr-box for other things too. 
It was not my idea to make things complicated or Klaus' life difficult. I just 
written some thoughts I had yesterday. Maybe it is a good idea, maybe not. 
Maybe I'm not the only one who thinks that this would be useful and maybe its 
not that difficult to do so, but it could be difficult or not needed or not a 
thing Klaus wants to implement, I have no clue. I just wrote my thoughts ;o)
