I only have the KBD as the control device. I've traced the problem to 
the main loop of vdr.
Interact->ProcessKey(key) returns osEnd which tells the program to shut 
down. Tracing all of this back to cMenuChannels::Switch(void) returns 
osEnd if cDevice::PrimaryDevice()->SwitchChannel(ch, true) succeeds in 
switching the channel. That doesn't make sense to me. Why should the 
program exit if you just change channels? Is that a bug?
