You can uncomment the start of tty1 in /etc/inittab and create and entry
which starts VDR with the option "-t /dev/tty1".
This way VDR will be started as root on tty1. So it receives all inputs on
tty1 (e.g. keyboard).

If you use an IR-receiver connected to the DVB-S or one which emulates a
input-device in linux, you should use the Remote-Control-plugin from Oliver
Endriss instead of LIRC.
