I'm testing the current SVN version quite a while already, and quite
successfully. TV (i.e. DVB) works quite good, both recording and life
TV.

Some things that don't work so well:

* Channel names provided by XMLTV can have spaces (e.g. "KABEL 1",
  "PRO 7", "RTL 2"). Since the channels in the favorites in
  recordserver.fxd are separated by spaces, favorites for thes
  channels don't work. Possible workarounds: (a) use a different
  separator (like ";"), (b) escape the space in the channel names,
  (c) use XML to separate the channel names from each other. Personally, I
  like (c) most. I already have a patch for it.

* Old program info doesn't seem to be thrown away. On freevo-epg
  search I get lots of old data, epg.sqlite grew to 45MB (after
  deletion and new insertion of program info it is only 4.5 MB)

* DVDs are only recognized if they are already in the tray when freevo
  is started. Freevo seems to be puzzled every time when I remove a
  DVD it didn't notice (Error message: "2006-10-29 22:38:53,899 ERROR
  [beacon.hwmon] __init__.py 1072: 2003071418381100LAST_CRUSADE_UK_GERMANY
  not in list". beacon recognizes the DVD when I insert it, though.

* Audio CDs work, though.

* The fxd files to recorded programs are not removed when I delete the
  programs. This piles up a big number of useless fxd files, and
  freevo complains about fxd files with bad files.

I saw in fp_filewriter.cc, line 122, that files are created with mode
0660 (which will of course be modified by umask). Is there a reason for
it? If I want to restrict access to a specific group, I could use
umask myself...
