It seems you didn't read his mail at all, he wants an on-screen menu (i
suppose on-tv) which can be controlled via remote control.

@Bernhard:
What comes to my mind is some kind of an )§/$§=()$%/ solution but should
work:
compile a stable vdr version such as 1.0.0 and set up commands.conf for
this version, that holds scripts that kill the running 1.0.0 and start
the apropriate version.
Then you could modify your boot scripts to svdrpsend:
"""
hitk Menu
hitk 8 (or whatever Commands is)
hitk OK
"""

then you would initially see the commands menu with your entrys to
choose the version.
