Most of your ideas can already be done by
closing vdr
exchanging the channels.conf file / change the video dir
restart of vdr
Should be possible to do this by a lircexec script and a special remote
control for only that purpose. Maybe the channels menu (2) must be
locked/removed in the source too. I do not think that a kids protection is
very useful, but I like the "teaching" effect of such a box. You kids will
early learn how to hack/crack a computer :-).
