Videgor works with a VDR patch that allows to list the EPG and add timers up to 14 days in the past. If there is a timer which can't be handled by the own tuners - including timers in the past - Videgor tries to gather the chunks from other Videgor nodes which have recorded finnish MTV3 on last sunday ;-)
Funny thought. Are only those channels recordable via videgor that are viewable with the system?
Let's say that persons a-x have purchased a subscription to some movie channels and person z hasn't, but can nevertheless get the epg program listings for that channel. Now person z installs videgor and some of the persons from a-x have also sone so.
Person z selects a subscriber only channel program from past to be recorded and videgor gets it for him from those other videgor installations?
Just thinking of the implications on a larger scale so that we don't get some distributors breathing down our necks. :) So, if you have subscriber only channels, then it's best not to install videgor?
As Videgor is a research projekt from the university of Karlsruhe (Germany), legal issues have been handled, too.
Just go to the 'technical introduction' link on videgor.net ;-)
