Hi,
I am using vdr with a 2x20 LCD display and was only able to make it work 
by just saying it is a 4x20. I can only see the first two line, but 
there I can the the time and the channel (if I want to know what is 
currently on tv I just press Ok). The first two lines are even enought 
to program a timer without  the tv.

CU Helge.
