How can you use this tool with vdr, and what can you do with it?  Can you do 
everything vdr can do? (same osd?)
Is your videoserver a vdr box?
As I said, i don't have a dvb card yet so i can't give that a try...

Is fbtv similar to video? how can i use that?


I'm not very familiar with framebuffer device either. How can i use these 
devices. Do i have to recompile my kernel with framebuffer support.
I am running redhat 8.0 with original 2.4-18 kernel , and it doesn't seem to 
support framesupport.
(I have a /dev/fb0 file, but i tried fbset and got : open /dev/fb0: No such 
device).

thanks, 

alexis
