[vdr] Help Needed with VDR configuration???



Hi can anyone point me to any docs that will help me to configure VDR on my Debian unstable system? I installed VDR and a bunch of plugins via apt-get. Then being the simple sort I am I opened a command prompt and typed VDR. Unfortunately after doing so I was greeted by a message saying : vdr: error while reading '/var/lib/vdr/channels.conf'. So I dumped a working channels.conf file in there from my existing Xine directory, checked the permisions on it and to that directory so that VDR had full access rights thinking everything would be straightforward and ran the command again, only to be confronted by the message that yet again vdr had encountered an 'error while reading '/var/lib/vdr/channels.conf''. So I did man VDR thinking I only needed to read a little more to figure it out. Sadly the manual gave no hints about how to configure VDR at all. What is the problem and why can't it read this file? Any hints, tips or suggestions on how to configure VDR and get it up and running would be very much appreciated.

Edit:

It seems it can read the included satelite and cable channels.conf but it cannot read the provided DVB-T channels.conf - nor can it read my own DVB-T channels.conf. So the problem with it not being able to read the channels.conf file is restricted to the terrestrial channels.conf files only.

Which all in all is pretty odd.

Best regards,

GJ
