	Digimatrix has nice little VFD screen that shows hardware clock. The problem is that when it is powered off that time is in GMT rather than local time (in my case this is two hours behind). This comes from default handling of time in Linux - HW clock keeps GMT time and software then handles it when powered on. But after power down it goes back to GMT.

	Two additional kernel modules are required for remote to operate properly (lirc_dev, lirc_it87). They should be added as additional kernel modules on Media Directors page. As I'm writing this, this feature doesn't work, so you must manually add them to /etc/modules and watch, cause that file could get overwritten (particularly if you click on 'Rebuild image')...
