AFAIK there is *no* VPS functionality in DVB - not just in VDR.
Ok, there is the EPG information, but apparently the broadcasters
don't support that very well - it is just too unreliable. And the
recent EPG "blackout" on Pro7 and its related channels isn't very
reassuring, either... - apart from the fact that they still haven't
been able to fix their problem with EPG times between 00:00 and 06:00.
