Well, hats off to you Freezy!
The guide was brilliant.. a few things seem to have changed since it was put together, but I have fumbled through and have working VDR + XBMC!
I've made notes of all the parts I had to do that weren't in the notes, and will put them into some sort of order in the morning so the guide can be updated.
One thing I am having problems with though is the channels.conf (i'm currently using a downloaded one for Astra 28.2 but most of the channels are from germany)
I scanned my card (first tuner is a Hauppage Nova HD S2 - DVB-S/2) by running ;
scan ~/Astra-28.2 > channels.conf
It picked up all the channels and put them into the conf file, which I then copied to /etc/vdr.
However when I launch 'runvdr' I was getting the error "vdr: error while reading '/etc/vdr/channels.conf'"
I initially used the scan command from your guide (I have a second tuner in the PC which is DVB-T) but that also gave the same problem.. as soon as I used the one I downloaded from the internet it worked fine
Thanks!
**EDIT**
Ok, a little sleep sussed this one.. never trying setting anything up in Linux when your a noob at 1am :p
Scan requires the parameter '-o vdr' to give output that is compatable with VDR..
Now just need to figure out why the EPG is only showing info for about 6 channels!
