The problem here in the US is, DVB is not a standard for anything.
I'm guessing Klaus' problem here is that he doesn't live in the US so can't access ATSC broadcasts for testing, so it doesn't really make sense for him to attempt to maintain it in VDR core :)
Where is the current home for the ATSC plugin and who is/was the original maintainer? Ideally it needs a US-based maintainer, but (failing that) it should at least be migrated to somewhere more public (e.g., github or vdr-developers) so that bugs/issues can be tracked.
It would be nice if it were moved to vdr-developers. I don't think the author would even have a problem with that. The real drawback for NA is that while there are plenty of users, there's practically no coders here. The ones I know have either left VDR, or dvb altogether. Thankfully there has been some EU coders willing to throw us a bone and help out occasionally. With their help, and Klaus, NA VDR is far less painful today that in the past. :)
