i guess you are right.

i totally agree with you. the surface looks very professionell i must say.
you can "theme" it and it looks like a very expensive piece of software. *g*

VDR looks more like dvb2000 from a few years ago. but maybe that's why many
ppl (me included) like it so much. no useless information, bells and
whistles. and even my gf can use it (BIG congrats for that go to klaus *g*).

i guess installation should not be tooooo difficult using apt.

i just wanted to install it because (against the opinion of many other ppl)
i ALWAYS change a running system because i become bored really fast and am
looking for another task to solve...

so we'll see. i'll try to install it ... but i'll have to be finished before
my gf comes home and wants to watch "verbotene liebe" ;) in that case: NEVER
touch a running system is much more wiser ;)

regards hannes!
