The fact: Distros ship kernel 2.6 -> no VDR!

There are just some like us left who can compile their kernel themself,
but I have dropped using VDR for 3 month now as 2.4 doesn't support my
hardware and I have to use 2.6. Having a working server is more important
than watching TV and a second machine consumes to much current (already
500 Watts/h, 24 hours per day and 365 days per year becomes quite
expensive).

And now, just think some steps in future ... Without support for kernel
2.6 the users will change to MythTV, NMM, ...
