Do you see the 'n-tv' channel after loading the driver (and _before_ starting VDR)?
If not, something with your satellite setup is not as expected.
Do you have DiSEqC equipment? In that case you may need to enable DiSEqC in VDR's
Setup, and adjust the DiSEqC parameters in channels.conf (see FORMATS).
