You'll need to load DVB and Dxr3 modules and perhaps create the device nodes unless you have udev in your Debian installation. Test DVB and Dxr3 with other tools like MPlayer if you have problems with VDR. You'll also need to scan the channels for MPlayer and VDR with the scan app from dvb-utils.

it seems that I have trouble on udev. I'll try to fix it.
thanks for your help, Niko
