[vdr] Re: Problem with DVB-C

["Stephan Schreiber" <stephan@sschreiber.de>]

Did you get a picture on the SCART connector? I don't think so.
Cinch out and overlay seem to work w/o problem, but neither RGB nor SVHS.
I also live in Munich and my channels.conf is VERY up-to-date.

Thanks anyway.
Stephan
