The EPG format is covered by this document (which I think is the latest issue) http://webapp.etsi.org/action/OP/OP20060428/en_300468v010701o.pdf so presumably the data fits in to the specification somehow. I looked through this and also checked the broadcast data with dvbsnoop last weekend but couldn't see anything obvious. Maybe no-one is broadcasting the links yet. It would certainly be an excellent addition to VDR. Dave _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
