Hello,

I have tried adding a second class instance of SVDRP to Interface class. 
It is a test I am doing with VDR v1.04.In Interface::GetKey method I 
added a call to the second SVDRP instance (without handling MSG command).


I am running vdradmind.pl on standard VDR port (2001) and a patched 
tvtime program on port 2002.

The first connection is used for timers/recordings handling
The second one is just for viewing live tv and channel changing

On lock mecanism is not necessary for this kind of 'connection sharing'

I know Klaus is against multiple SVDRP connections. But it is a simple 
workaround for me.
