The default channel that is set when the driver is loaded is 'n-tv' on Astra.
Also, the channels defined in VDR's 'channels.conf' are thos of Astra. So since
your dish is pointed to Hotbird that will probably be the reason why you don't
get any picture.

Do you get the OSD when running VDR? If you press the "Menu" button on the
remote control (assuming you have configured one) you should see the VDR
"Main" menu. Go to the "Cannels" menu, press "New" and define a channel
that is broadcast on Hotbird. Then switch to that channel.
