Many thanks for your answer!

I have Debian Woody, kernel 2.4.18.
VDR version is 1.0.4 (I have dowloaded the latest one from the developer's
site).
dvb-driver-source package I installed from Woody (It seems to me it is the
latest also).
DVB card is SkyStar1 rev 1.6

Plz. tell me where I can read more about vdr and dvb-driver functioning,
because FAQ does not contain much information.


Here are the messages after starting/stopping operations (I ran VDR
with --log=3):

1. Here is the /var/log/messages after running /etc/init.d/vdr start
...

2. And here is the /var/log/messages after running /etc/init.d/vdr stop
(I have commented the "killall vdr" in /etc/init.d/vdr script, because by
unknown reason "make rmmod" does not work with it)
