Yeah - a VLC plugin would probably work, not sure about the integration
mechanics yet, and don't have hardware yet, hence 'testing the water'
with those whom know a lot more about it than I.

That'd be an issue for sure. I was hoping that there'd be an 'easy' way
to relatively simply dump all channels off a transponder into a folder,
with a filename a little bit more useful than file01.avi etc.
Integration with EPG would be nice, but maybe not a requirement - not
sure...

Program breaks would be a bit problematic, but if you got reasonably
flash when one prog stopped, you could possibly create an overlap -
every prog starts a few minutes early, and ends a few minutes later.
Would require some slicing, dicing and duplication which would start
getting complicated...
