I don't think so, but 70 DM wouldn't be too much if it works.

When you try to register you'll be asked for the adKiller-Code.
I guess this is a number which you'll get with the hardware.

I wonder how they know when the commercial breaks are. 

Or do I have to be online all the time when I'm recording a film ?
Then someone just sits there and sends the signal manually, maybe ?

Ahh, just read the page again, the addkiller will rewind the tape
itself a bit when nessesary. This means they do not know in advance when
the breaks are, right ?

I saw some hardware some time ago which watches the tv company logo and 
if it is gone it stops the vcr.
Maybe someone has written a program which does the same ?
