Why don't you clean up (de-bug) your code first and write some
documentation? I think a master-timer that can be used (= understood) by
people without a diploma is much more important than any kind of GUI ;-)

Why don't you integrate vdradmin and master-timer into one application?
vdradmin could make use of master-timer's EPG database (faster page loads)
and master-timer would benefit from vdradmin's lean design.
