if  you're  both  using  nvram-wakeup,  you should look at your logs, what
nvram-wakeup tells you. it can happen for example, that if the system time
is  changed  by  vdr according to the time transmitted via EPG, the system
time  differs  by  more than 5 minutes from the hardware clock (of course,
after taking time zone ito account). In that case nvram-wakeup will refuse
to set timers.

if that's the case, you should
 1. ensure that your hardware clock is running correct time
 2. choose one transponder, which you trust about time and set it
    soemwhere in the setup

btw.:  use  -l  option, if you want nvram-wakeup to redirect all output to
/var/log/messages
