Because the addon is today named "VU+ Client", many people still do not know that it also works for Dreambox and other Enigma2 set-top-boxes.
Also, can this thread topic subject then be renamed too with that new name and description summary that somehow best informs everyone that it works with Dreambox, DBox2, Vu+ set-top boxes, as well as possibly compatible with other Tuxbox / Enigma2 set-top boxes?
Better name and better descriptions = more users = more developers = a better addon for us all!
I already changed the name, it will be displayed as "VU+ / Enigma2" in Frodo; that is IF it is going to be added.
I'm actually very reluctant to directly mention dreambox, dream multimedia or how they are currently being called as I heard that they already sued people for it.
But if someone could indeed rename this topic to something like "VU+ / Enigma PVR Addon" then this would be very much appreciated.
If you are worried for real about getting sued then you should not have "Enigma2" in the name of your addon, (should still be ok to use it in description), because it was that name Dream Multimedia objected Satco distributing thier Vu+ set-top boxes displaying when maketing their products.
So you should not really use "Vu+", "Dreambox", or "Enigma2" since they are all copyrighted or trademark names.
I am not a lawyer, but since you are not competing with any of them, and actually helping them in a way to expand their market, I very much doubt they mind you using any of their names in the name or description, if you want to be on the safe side make up a unique name and just add "client for Dreambox/Vu+, but if you want to play it even more safe then only use their product names in the description.

I agree that "Enigma2 PVR Client" is a good name. Either that or a unique "XXXXX PVR client for YYYYYY and ZZZZZ" as a name, and then just use a very good description which includes all supported devices.
