Hi,
I am using nxtvepg to create the XMLTV listings for freevo. I am doing this roughly as 
described in 
  http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/GermanXmltvGuide
I also have a cron job which dumps the nxtvepg databases into TV.xml. I am pretty 
convinced that this is a really good idea, because freevo is connected to the TV cable 
anyway, but it is not connected to the internet. (At least, I do not want my computer 
surfing in the web while I am not watching it...)

It seems that the nxtvepg daemon switches channels while I am watching TV or while a 
recording is running. The documentation of nxtvepg says, that it won't do that, but...
Perhaps this is because I am using V4L2. Anyway, I have inserted the line
        nxtvepg -daemonstop 
in my recording script before the actual mencoder command. Afterwards, I restart the 
daemon with
        nxtvepg -daemon.
This works and can easily be implemented without modifying freevo code, but I have not 
found any way how to do this for watching TV. I could insert some modifications in 
<freevo-src>/tv/plugins/mplayer.py, but this is not really what I want to do...

Regards,
        Thorsten
