I changed tv's and was able to get passed the initial learning KBD 
screen. I started vdr with ./vdr (not ./runvdr) and it runs. If I press 
the up key
I get one of the FTA music channels and vdr exits.

Should it exit? How do I get a menu with the KBD? Should I run vdr with 
something other than ./vdr?

Here is gentoo's /var/log/everything/current:
