VDR will +then only keep the capability to set the system time, and set its +user id to a lesser privileged one ('vdr' by default, can be set +to a different value with the '-u' option). +You also need to enable the "EPG/Set system time" option in VDR's +Setup menu, and select a transponder from which you want to receive +the time in "Use time from transponder".
