[vdr] Re: Patch for New driver + Old Firmware + Remote Control Plugin

["Andreas Ritter" <ar@de.uu.net>]

Hi Reinhard,

Could you please mail me your Root and Dpram files (a68ritter@gmx.net)?
I`m having some trouble with a Rev. 1.6 card and would like to test the
combination you are using.

Thanks,
        Andreas
