It seems that somebody has already begun an action on German NMT-forum to implement a PCH UI.
In German http://www.hdd-player.de/syabas/showthread.php?tid=5201&pid=71288#pid712...
I've tested that. It brings basic EPG&timer-functionality to PCH with ability to tune to channel via streamdev. So it is a good start.
But my personal opinion is that why he does a PCH software. It is hard to install and requires resources at PCH as it launches another 'web server'. Why not vdradmin-type of server to VDR machine to provide UI 1--N PCH-machines without installations?
There is one bug to report, if EPG is missing, the program does not list the channel.
But thanks Oli for making such a piece of software. Compared to plain streamdev this program enables to see if there is something to worth of watching on HD channels before tuning to it.
