Setting the system time:
------------------------
If you want VDR to set the system time according to the data received
from the transponder, you need to start VDR as user 'root'. VDR will

user id to a lesser privileged one ('vdr' by default, can be set
to a different value with the '-u' option).
You also need to enable the "EPG/Set system time" option in VDR's
Setup menu, and select a transponder from which you want to receive
the time in "Use time from transponder". Make sure you select a transponder
that has a reliable clock - some transponders are quite off.
