I want to sign this, but without complaning about vdr at all. It is
a fine piece of software.
But i think, the combination of dvb and vdr is still far away from
beeing stable (which means runs always and anytime without errors).
I have still unreproduceable errors under different circumstances
(which prevent me from posting them here). I do not programm code,
so i cannot sign this problems toward the dvb or the vdr part, but
this is, what matters. Vdr is nothing without the dvb part and vice
versa. Its the combination. For me, there is too much patching, too
much plugins. I would love to have a rock solid package with
timeshift and a few plugins, which almost everyone (but not Klaus)
uses.
