I have no idea how many people actually use VDR, but you apparently have some solid numbers on how many people dropped VDR. Do you mind sharing these numbers?
I don't keep a list of names or a tally. And I also don't think this is any secret.
I will however give you an example. There was a time when the majority of dvb users I talk to used VDR, and only a few guys used MythTV. Now the opposite is true. The majority of those people are using MythTV and few are left who still use VDR. Why? Primarily lack of support for what's already been previously discussed a million times.. Lack of support for HDTV, MPEG4, DVB-S2, and a recording format that is actually usable. The only surprise to me is how many people burn their recordings to DVD. I don't have any interest in doing that but clearly a whole lot of other people do.
