You have to use the built-in KBD remote control of vdr,
not the -t option of the remote plugin. 

There is just one problem in 1.1.20:
The KBD remote control does not work if vdr is started from a shell script:

vdr.c:
| bool HasStdin = tcgetpgrp(STDIN_FILENO) == getpid() && tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &savedTm) == 0;
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is always false if vdr is started from runvdr:
tcgetpgrp: 10365 getpid: 10373
