fbtv is a part of the xawtv package. It takes /dev/video0 as input 
device and /dev/fb0 as output device. Works nicely here, uses the .xawtv 
config file which gives you the chance to control VDR over keyboard -> 
SVDRP.

Usually, ./configure, make, make install should be sufficient for a 
first view -- just go on and have a try...
