From 9599a8fd8a6724e55ec4ad2ba2c975c0850073d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Klaus Schmidinger Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 18:00:00 +0200 Subject: Version 0.05 - Support for more than one DVB card. - Simultaneous record and replay (with two DVB cards). - Instant recordings no longer get the name "instant". They now get the name of the channel, with a prepended '@' character. - Timers that are not given an explicit Name now use the channel name with a prepended '@' character. - If an instant recording is currently active, the Main menu now contains an option to stop that recording. - Timers are now only processed when the Menu is not active. So after editing a timer the effect will take place only after the menu has been closed. In order to avoid missing a timer event by inadvertently leaving the menu open, the menu will be closed automatically after about two minutes of inactivity. - If a recording is currently being replayed, the Main menu now contains an option to stop replaying. - Displaying the recording DVB interface status in the decimal points of the RCU display. - Reduced the number of remote control keys. Modified the key assignments for the PC keyboard to better resemble the "up-down-left-right-ok" layout on menu controlling remote control units. --- INSTALL | 26 ++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index d7acfb6..bc619d7 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ about that driver).
