    Description

      If tv-server is running for several weeks, then it creates logfiles which can easiely be larger than 100MB.

      There are 2 reasons for that:
      1. We do not have any logrotation which would create a logfile (i.e. daily = TsWriter 2009-10-09.log)
      2. We do not have any loglevels in TvServer which means that we have constant "debug logging" which causes that logfiles grow very fast

      The result of an i.e. 100MB TsWriter.log is that TvServer starts to tune channels slower and slower.
      It also responds slower to client requsts.
      This situation just gets worse over time until you reach the point where TvServer does not respond or tune channels at all.

      Because of the featurefreeze it might not be possible to add logrotation and loglevels for 1.1.0.
      But since 1.1.0 will be running on many systems for a long time, we need to come up with a solution to avoid this problem.
