Mmmh... it was about 6 hours. Mainly digging how it works at the Linux VDR project and refacturing my own code. So perhaps I shouldn't contribute with this project... I don't know. I'm still not sure but perhaps you're right.
I hope others are handling it the same way.

It's anyway only a niche Application. You need at least a expensive sattelite or cable tv receiver or something similar to use it. For other people this app is mostly useless...

Personally I would be find to extend it again. In my opinion we are not under pressure to finish it now. But perhaps you shouldn't count to much into the N950 build. There are only a few devices out there. But the lion's share has only a N900 or some kind of MeeGo Tablet if ever MeeGo. If your Application runs only at the N950, how would you attract people to vote for your app?

The Advantage to extend it again would be for me that I finally get able to contribute with my DreamRemote application.
My rewriting using C++ and QML will need more time as scheduled...
