Maybe vdr is looking for something it misses. Does it work without -d
option. Are there some errormessages? Do you have a /video with a valid
channels.conf? Do you have used a unsuported install script?

If vdr works without -d then:

Take hint 2 put there a line near the end of rc.local with the following:

open -c2 runvdr

That should start vdr on the 2. console window so you can see messages
there and also can stop vdr easyly. 


Why do you want to start vdr as a demon? To make things complicated? ;-)
