[vdr] Re: New epg source

[Steven Toth <steve@toth.demon.co.uk>]

The software will need to re-tune the dvb-s card to a particular 
transponder to grab the epg information for 7 days. This COULD be done 
at startup. It would also be useful to be able to interact with the epg 
to ensure that late epg changes from the broadcaster are delivered into VDR.

Also, after a number of running days, the EPG data will start to run 
out, VDR will need to re-tune to the epg transponder and grab the latest 
data.

Does any other VDR epg plugin do this kind of thing?
