I must add that I generally don't have any problems watching live TV or
playback, most of my problems only appear during OSD usage. Skipping
during playback of recording does seems to crash the software
occasionally, this happens more with ff or rew and less when skipping
minutes back and forth with the color keys.

Btw, free semi-OT tip: ATI Remote Wonder makes a pretty nice remote for
VDR. Can't remember if someone has mentioned it before.
