Version 1.1.18

- Fixed missing initialization of 'number' in cChannel (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid
  for reporting this one).
- Fixed a misplaced ')' in the fix about the stale lock files (thanks again to
  Oliver Endriss for pointing this out - it was my fault).
- Group delimiters in the 'channels.conf' file that have no text (like a simple ":"
  or ":@201") no longer show up in the Channels menu (suggested by Guy Roussin).
- Added "Tele 5" to 'channels.conf' (thanks to Georg Hitsch).
- Changed the source directory name for plugins from 'SRC' to 'src' (suggested by
  Clemens Kirchgatterer).
- Removed transponders 10788, 11739 and 12266 from 'channels.conf' (apparently they
  are no longer active).
- Deactivated some templates in tools.h in case some plugin needs to use the STL
  (suggested by Gerald Berwolf).
- Timers now accept channel IDs even if the 'source' is 0 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt
  for reporting this one).
- Now taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown or
  housekeeping (suggested by Emil Naepflein).
- Macros in 'keymacros.conf' can now use "@plugin" to directly access the main menu
  function of a given plugin (see man vdr(5) for details).
- The new plugin 'sky' can be used to integrate a Sky Digibox into the VDR system,
  using a Kfir MPEG2 encoder card (see PLUGINS/src/sky/README for details).

+Description:
+
+The 'sky' plugin implements a new device for VDR, which is based on the
+MPEG2 encoder card described at linuxtv.org/mpeg2/kfir.xml. It
+allows you to connect the analog a/v output of your Sky Digibox to VDR,
+so that you can enjoy the full recording flexibility of VDR with your
+Sky subscription. Note that this is NOT something that does anything
+illegal, like decrypting the Sky programme without a subscription. You
+will need a Sky Digibox and a valid subscription in order to use this
+plugin.
+
+The Digibox is remotely controlled through VDR via LIRC (see lirc.org).
+The file lircd.conf.sky contains the remote control codes necessary to
+control the Digibox.
+
+In order to access the Sky channels VDR needs to know the channel number
+under which each channel is stored in the Sky Digibox. These numbers are
+used as 'frequency' parameters in the channels.conf definitions of the Sky
+channels (see the file 'channels.conf.sky'). Since these numbers are always
+less than 1000, they can be easily distinguished from normal satellite
+transponder frequencies. The VPID is 160 and the APID is 80 for all Sky
+channels. These are just fake PIDs, since the Kfir card always uses these
+fixed PIDs. The 'Ca' parameter of the Sky channels is set to 301, which
+is defined as "Videoguard, Sky Digital" in VDR's 'ca.conf' file. Again, please
+note that VDR doesn't do any decrypting here, this is just to mark these
+channels as "conditionally accessible" and have a way of setting the CICAM
+value for the Kfir device in VDR's Setup menu.
+
+The Sky EPG is available on the Internet at http://www.ananova.com.
+The Perl script getskyepg.pl extracts the EPG data from these pages
+and sends it to VDR via an SVDRP connection. The channel numbers Sky
+uses to generate the EPG pages are stored as the 'sid' parameter in
+the channels.conf definitions of the Sky channels. You can keep your
+EPG data up-to-date by entering a call to getskyepg.pl into your
+/etc/crontab. Call 'getskyepg.pl -h' for a list of options.
