up, not menu, of course.

This is my setup:

1 Siemens/Hauppauge WinTV DVB-S Rev. 1.3 with a TSOP1138 at J2/pin9 (some
resistors and a BS170).

RedHat 8.0, DVB-driver from 2002-11-01 (from Klaus' homepage), VDR-1.1.15.

I load the driver and do a Path2DVBdriver/av7110_loadkeys
/etc/VDR/remote.rc5 > /proc/av7110_ir in my runvdr-script.
After that some keys are available on the ttys, but not all. I think this
causes the conflict with the remote-plugin as that keys certainly are
interpreted as keyboard-input by VDR.

So I'll need to disable output to tty. Anyone having a idea how to set this
up in DVB-driver?

Could you change the next plugin-release not to look for "remote-eventX.up"
but for "remote-eventX."?
