TV Recording

• Electronic program guide (EPG) with XMLTV (source: yle.fi or

katso.fi)

• Scheduling based on the EPG:

– single program recording – repeated recordings based on the program’s name

• Safety time-padding (start recording 5 min earlier than EPG time,

stop recording 5 minutes later)

• Automatic TV commercial detection when recording, skipped when

watching (based on black frames)
