Re: Record TV

Hi Alain,

thanks also for the hint. The vcr tool I will try again: with my last 
installed system I had some trouble -> some packets were missing and I 
could not compile vcr.
I have heared about the desync problem, but I'm sorry that I can't 
remember where it was.

best regards
Christian
