- Fixed a bug in moving timers or channels to the last position in the list (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer for helping to debug this one). - Changed the estimated data rate for calculating the remaining disk capacity to 25.75 MB/min. - Only reporting the 'EPG bugfix statistics' if there really were any fixes. - Added Finnish language texts (thanks to Hannu Savolainen). - Reverted to the previous way of searching for the EPG record of the current recording in case of a periodic timer (i.e. taking the one that is in the middle between start and end time). - Added a typedef for 'in_addr_t' to make it work with glibc < 2.2 (thanks to Jürgen Schmidt). - When the last entry in a "Recordings" menu page is deleted, that page is now automatically closed (suggested by Uwe Freese). - Changed the default name for instant recordings to "TITLE EPISODE" (avoiding the '-'). - If Setup.ShowInfoOnChSwitch is set to "no", the box for the EPG display is no longer shown (thanks to Andy Grobb). - If compiled with VFAT=1, characters that can't be handled by a VFAT system are now encoded to '#XX'. - When the user presses the "Power" button and there is a timer about to start recording within Setup.MinEventTimeout minutes, there is now a confirmation prompt telling the user that there is an upcoming timer event. - If a recording has no episode title, the trailing '~' is no longer shown in the progress display.
Video Disk Recorder ('VDR')
---------------------------
These files contain the source code of the "Video Disk Recorder",
which is based on the DVB driver of the LinuxTV project (http://linuxtv.org).
For details about the "Video Disk Recorder" project please
refer to http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr.
There is also a remote control unit described on those
Web pages, which can be used within this program.
Please see the INSTALL file for details on how to install
this program on your computer.
The MANUAL file describes how to operate the VDR.
The author can be contacted at kls@cadsoft.de.
Yet another "set-top-box"?
--------------------------
The "set-top-boxes" available from commercial companies all have
one major drawback: they are not "open". This project's goal is
to build an "open" digital satellite receiver and timer controlled
video disk recorder, based upon open standards and freely available
driver software (of course, the hardware still has to be bought).
The on screen menu system is simple, but shall provide all the
possibilites necessary to perform timer controlled recording,
file management and even "on disk editing". The menus
of commercial set-top-boxes usually are a lot more fancy than
the ones in this system, but here we have the full source code
and can modify the menus in whatever way desired.
What do you think?

able to use it? Do you have suggestions on how to improve it?
