It applies without problems to the vdr 1.7.28-1 package and cooperates nicely with Astra 19.2°E and german/ dutch DVB-T channels. I can confirm that it works for Freeview HD, and I recently added it to the vdr packaging repository. I doubt that it'll get a freeze exception, although I don't see that it shouldn't on the grounds that the programme names and descriptions are what looks like random junk without this patch. This is not the way to request a freeze exception. Open a bug against release.debian.org with a proposed patch and we'll look at it. Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature
