1.) You should at least use VDR-1.1.15 ( VDR-1.0.x-versions do not support
the current driver).

2.) The pinnacle-card does not have a MPEG-decoder, so you can't watch
something or see the OSD. You can only use VDR for recording controlled by
SVDRP-port (use VdrAdmin to controll VDR).

3.) Alternatively you can use a DXR3/Hollywood H+ as MPEG-decoder, but you
should be aware that the plugin is unstable and not all functions are
implemented yet (limited OSD-colours, ...)
