Hello Friends, I have found the solution for an important Problem for me.
A day ago I discovered "TVBrowser" an OpenSource and Free EPG for Windows, Linux and Mac.
If you want to add support for Recording in TVBrowser under the use of ChrisTV you can use the following steps:

Open TVBrowser then
1. Select Plugins -> Capture Plugin
2. Create a Standard Device (Neues Gerät)
3. select the new device and go to "configure Device"
4. Enter the following in the Application line
(your ChrisTV program directory)/ctv_genial.exe
5. switch to Parameter view and add for Recording:
"-addrec" "{title};{channel_name};{start_day}.{start_month}.{start_year};{start_hour}:{start_minute};{end_hour}:{end_minute};{title}"
and add the following for deletion:

"-delrec" "{title};{channel_name};{start_day}.{start_month}.{start_year};{start_hour}:{start_minute};{end_hour}:{end_minute};{title}"

This should enable ChrisTV Support for the TVBrowser EPG.

http://www.tvbrowser.org/ is the link if someone would like to give it a try :)

Greetings Harald

Thanks for your information.

TV-Browser Official Website :
German Language : http://www.tvbrowser.org/
English ( Google translation ) : http://translate.google.com/translate?s ... r%2Eorg%2F
International : http://www.tvbrowser.org/international.php


There is still something to be explained for ChrisTV users :

a. You have to enable TVGenial support in ChrisTV ->Program Settings->TVgenial.

b. In TVBrowser you need to associate the internal name of the channel to the external name ( ChrisTV channel name (exact name) )

The best recording (aufnahme) parameter setting is :

"-addrec" "{channel_name_external};{channel_name};{start_day}.{start_month}.{start_year};{start_hour}:{start_minute};{end_hour}:{end_minute};{title}"

And delete (Loschen) parameter settings is :

"-delrec" "{channel_name_external};{channel_name};{start_day}.{start_month}.{start_year};{start_hour}:{start_minute};{end_hour}:{end_minute};{title}"

Thank you Chris for your additional Information and for the correction of the parameter settings :) (because I more or less did the try&error method (in some cases try and crash hehe).
Always a pleasure to make things work :)
You have a good weekend.

Finally came arround to update the .tcf file which works flawless with TVBrowser.
Now I only need to programm my DBOX2 as fast hehe :)
I have seen there is a plugin for the DBOX2 as well ... now I have to figure out how to wire the reciever with the PC ...
Well and if not I am almost as fast setting up the reciever ;) But would be nice to use the PC for that :))
