I didnt know whether it belongs to DVB or not so I left it in the logs.

The driver didn't really crash. This was when I tried to stop VDR with Ctrl-C but I didnt help.
So I killed the process.

I think i did it properly.
With windows i get the TV Program.
If the adapter from the card to the TV isnt working I should still see something on kvdr, right ?

I used the one that comes with Suse 8.2 and now I'm using the newest release from the Net.

I tried it after restart but with the same result.

TV is sure working, I could see TV well over win.
On win I dont watch TV over TV-Out of the DVB but with TV-Out of the Graphics Card.
Is there a tool with which I can test this TV-OUT of the DVB-Card ?
