Mediator: Update of the TV Tuner Controller TvR to Version 2.8
The program TvR by Robert Krajcarz (screenshot) has reached version 2.8. With this software a PCI TV tuner card may be controlled in conjunction with the use of a Mediator board.
To itemize, TvR makes possible the searching of Radio/TV signals, the creation of a TV program list, the configuring of the TV picture (brightness, contrast, color saturation), the changing of channels, the size-altering of the TV window (from 10% to full-screen), the selection of the video source (TV, Cinch, SVHS), the sound selection (mono, stereo) and the volume. In full-screen mode OSD (On Screen Display) is offered for the selected functions. The freezing and saving of the TV picture is also offered. The user may control these by GUI, keystrokes, or remote control.
As of version 2.8, video sequences may also now be saved, to this end tool-types of the program icons are supported. Beyond that, there's a change to the mute function in the main window.

SN-ListDatei v1.2 - webmaster update
There's a new version of SN-ListDatei available on the sn-archiv.de homepage. SN-ListDatei lists all files of a directory including all sub-directories with date and file size.
New in version 1.2 is the support for webmasters who want their files being handled in specific ways by search engines, e.g. Google. For locking files the file "robots.txt" and for the direct indexing the file "sitemap.txt" can be generated, both accepted for example by Google. The archive contains an image showing Google having accepted the "sitemap.txt". Furthermore, there are three new functions to remove files from the list:
- Removing HTML files (e. g. for robots.txt)
- Only HTML and text files remain (e.g. for sitemap.txt)
- Removing files by using pattern
In the future there'll probably be the possibility to generate a XML file for sitemaps, the standard format for such uses. Right now, only a simpe Text file is created that is accepted at least by Google.
There are two new subdomains for the pages of www.sn-archiv.de:
There were some additons to the Euro collectors site, too.
