I know I should RTFM. Since, vdr appears as a settopbox, it sometimes makes you lazy into thinking you would get the help from the screen and not think in Linux/Unix/PC way of checking a man page. Yes I know I will be getting flack for this. But neither my wife and I bother to check the pc after vdr works... So perhaps I need to investigate in a plugin that displays the help. Since this is the entry point to VDR for ordinary tv viewers. Thanks for that bit of info

Well honestly I'm confused. I use vdr 1.6 and when I press down or up it changes channel only. My vdr never pauses live tv. Mind you I don't have a pause key either and neither defined. So perhaps this is the way to for him.
Why didn't you just read the manual? It is all there! :) It is really great!
The point is: keys do different things in differnet environments.
In liveview, the "down"- key decreases channel by 1 in replay-mode the "down"-key pauses the recording.
If you define a pause-key, than this key pauses in replay-mode. In live-view it creates an instant-recording, that is replayed and paused.
Before anyone posts to this topic, would you please read the manual?
I think this whole thread would not exist, if anyone would have read the manual ;)
btw. the manual comes with every copy of VDR and can be read via web in the WIKI: http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/VDR_User%27s_Manual
Frank, who read the manual ;)
