The remote allows to teach User1...User9 keys, and by keymacros.conf you 
can tell VDr to run a shell command from commands.conf. For example, the 
 line "User1 Menu Commands 1" will start the first command in 
commands.conf if the User1 key is pressed.

From there, you can start a background shell script doing lots of nice 
stuff, like tuning to channels via svdrp commands. For example, 
"svdrpsend.pl chan 1" will tune to channel 1, "svdrpsend.pl scan" will 
start EPG scanning, etc.

All this is documented in the program readme files and in the man pages. 
(dont miss "man 5 vdr")

Cheers,
