[vdr] Searching help or documentation

[David Philippi <lists@torangan.de>]

Hi

I'm trying to use DVB with linux for the first time and I'm facing a couple 
of problems:

I own a Hauppauge WinTV Nova DVB card which should be supported but 
unfortunately it's one without a composite video out. Getting the video to 
TV shouldn't be the problem once I've got it on my screen since I'm using a 
Matrox Marvel G400 which has a very good TV out that should work from linux 
too.
Right now I don't know what tools to get the DVB on the screen but I guess it 
should at least be possible to record a .mpg and decode it on the fly. 
Unfortunately I can't even start vdr or rather - it's a bad idea. Even 
compiled with REMOTE=KBD the first thing it does is trying to learn my 
remote control thereby freezing my computer...

I think I've build the siemens-dvb correctly. The modules are loadable and 
vdr seems to recognize them. Strangely I had to tweak the Makefiles since 
the include path to ost was plainly wrong.

Any help or pointers to a FAQ / HOWTO or other documentation would be 
welcome.

Bye David
