But if I decide to shutdown how will this Box come up again?? The 
Nvram-Wakeup gets now a wakeuptime before "NOW". I think its better 
to send the next Timer event which is after "NOW". The last parameter 
could be used for more status information (2-> active shutdown, but 
currently recording). I havn't got this problem until now, because 
normaly I stop first an useless recording an free the space again 
on disc before I shut down the VDR.
