If ProvicesChannel() says TRUE and the Frequency is tuned or a device is 
free, there are no conflicts. I can only use what VDR tells me. So if 
LNB-sharing is an additional patch for VDR timeline plugin also needs to 
know of this somehow. See line 363-404 in checkerOsd.c.

If the patch adds some kind of function that helps me to test if a 
Channel is available if another channel is tuned on another device (or 
maybe this function already exists) this test might be possible.

Oops, because I forgot the "n't" in shouldn't. Inactive timers shouldn't 
be shown ;-)

I know of this problem. The point is that there are not enough colors 
for some kind of cursor to hilight the current timer, and I'm not having 
so much timers every day so I had no reason to know of such a problem ;-)

I hope we are talking about the same: you mean the timer data that is 
shown when a timer is choosen. In my early releases this was shown in 
one long line - most time too long.
