Pieces of advice:

PVR-350 TV-out - don't use it
Remote frontends - Pray.  QT's timer functions are bugridden as hell.  I
submitted a workaround yesterday if you need to use a remote frontend, in a day
or so I'm going to rewrite the timing parts of ReadStringList to not use that
bugridden POS QTime timer functionality (Will probably use QTime.secsTo() instead).
