First BUG-Report

- Before Closing the Socket you have to print "quit\r\n";
(Okay newer Versions of VDR don't have a problem without quit.
With older Versions it is impossibel to get any more connections)

- The "Split" for the timer is buggy. The number of ":" is fixed.
(My Master-Timer fields are shown as 'Title' Instead of
'Title: "<...>"||Subtitle: "<....>'

- You must test if a timer is recording and use "modt <Nr> off" 
  for deleting a recording timer.
  (Only usefull case anyway (For me))


Now to a "none bug"
- You put in a "dont get epg.data via LSTE" in which case you just
  skip "EPGUptoDate" function.



This is all i found in my 5 minutes testing.

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as 
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, 
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
