Well, a lot of thanks. Now I have:

But I don't see anything in my monitor. all black
I'm not asked to learn the remote keys.
I'm using lirc with the /dev/lirc0 device

The syslog says:

There is a way to set the lirc device that VDR uses?
Perhaps it try to use /dev/lirc and I have /dev/lirc0

Thanks again
