VDR 1.7 series is a major upgrade and you may need to make configuration
changes to adapt for this new series.

Notable changes that may require user action are:
- DVB output devices ("FF cards") are now supported by the dvbsddevice
  plugin instead of being supported by VDR core.
- Default SVDRP port has been changed to 6419 as assigned for SVDRP use by
  IANA.
- Some scripts have had their '.pl' suffix removed, notably 'svdrpsend'.
- VDR now uses the TS recording format instead of PES. Old recordings
  are still playable.
- LNB sharing is now implemented in VDR core and is now configured
  differently.
