You still need internet access to use tvtv. The recordserver would
query tvtv for your recordings. The problem with that is, that freevo
may not know about it. E.g. you turn your box of and let it auto start
on recordings. Now you have a recording tomorrow and the box is shut
down. It will wakeup again tomorrow. If you now add a tvtv recording
today, Freevo will not know about it.

But tvtv support would be a nice mbus app. The app would get the data
From tvtv, ask the recordserver using mbus and schedules the missing
recordings.

I hope tvtv will open the epg data on day. I asked them (or was it
tvinfo.de?) about such a features (I would pay for that, no problem)
and they say they are thinking about it. So I still have hope for a
nice epg.

I have something similar. Except that you need to login to my linksys
router to wake up the freevo pc.

Yes, it is a great feature. Do you use wakeup on lan for starting the
box before the recordings? And if you do, do you use Freevo 2.0 and
the shutdown helper to do so?
