Am I right, that there should be a temporary file, if something went wrong
while saving timers.conf or does vdr remove all temporary files while
startup. It is possible that the tvtv plugin will clear the timers? I will
now disable step by step all plugins that changes the timers.conf, to see
which one will clear the timers.
