I have now moved the wap gateway onto my vdr box, this has fixed this
problem but I still get other errors.

Whenever I use my phone and select schedule, I get "No Reply, try again
later".  This message comes up almost straight away, which would seem to
be a little strange for a timeout.

This is the approach that vdradmin uses.

Another alternative (more on topic for the list) is that LSTE could be
modified to accept a timerange, channel etc to limit its output.
