You say you want to fork it: what would you accomplish with that? It's not as if the code would magically write itself. I've yet to see a single prospective developer say "if it were forked I'd write X". (And, BTW, there's nothing forbidding him to write X in form of a patch and post it on this list.) On the other hand, by forking you'd probably lose Klaus, who has written by himself the majority of VDR code and knows it like no one else.
btw. there is a vdr fork repository (svn://reelbox.org) reel-multimadia has its own 1.4.7 dvb-s2, h.264 capable vdr they (Georg Acher?) wrote there own extension för dvb-s2 and they extended vdr to there needs it could be interesting to hear of the experience they have made (backports, using vdr 1.7.x in the future?)
