A few months ago I posted a VDR patch to implement support for Freeview+, the cut-down version of TV-Anytime (ETSI TS 102 323) broadcast in the UK.
I've prepared a new version against VDR 1.6.0-2, and included a simple Perl script which automatically creates timers for all of the programmes in a series. Run it overnight as a cron job and never miss your favourite series again!
The patch is at http://www.pickles.me.uk/vdrtva-0.0.3.tar.gz
