Well, I would actually prefer it built in to vdr. Heck, I'd prefer that vdr's on screen EPG was as nice as yaepgs. I suggested the reminder belong in a plugin because the record timer in yaepg is more advanced / user friendly than the one built in to vdr. I may be mistaken on this--I am new to vdr and linux-- but I thought that yaepg was using its own timer features and not simply providing a nice front end GUI for a vdr function, and it also seems most people use a plugin such as yaepg. However, I agree it would be beneficial for this to be a part of vdr. So if yaepg is simply "calling" vdr's record timer when you go to a program and click "OK" to schedule a recording, then it should be fixed in vdr. But I also know that Klaus is busy with many other planned features, and that vdr, while usable on a clean install, really needs lots of plugins to make it work more like a set top box. I too was surprised there was no reminder. I am also surprised at the poor search epg features, as these seem basic and easy to implement.
