Well I thought that you could add an option like

I tried it but on some frequencies, the DVB/apps/scan find nothing. Your
tool (plugin scanner) works better, it find everything without any
trouble.

I'm looking for the DTV tools working with DVB HEAD.

That will be cool.

By the way, I don't know if Klaus will insert your patch into the VDR
code but It should do it (DVB 20030306, VDR 1.2.0, DVB-c, Autopid OK for
me)
