Hi Dennis,

Hurray !  It works perfectly now.  The possible reasons it didn't before 
are either a bad cable that was too long and too thin, or maybe a new 
channels.conf I got from http://www.dxandy.de  A third possibility is the 
way I start vdr now.  Before, I just did 'modprobe dvb' and then 'vdr'.  
I tried 'rundvr' instead of those two and then it suddenly did work...

Yes, I had that. The (unedited) one from the vdr distribution though.

That part worked from the start.  But I received nothing.

Thanks for your help, I'll procure those tools you mentioned as well, and 
I must now start to try to find a LIRC remote and configure it, and check 
out some of those plugins.

VDR is great !!   :))
