Hi folks,
Following my recent continuing problems to get Myth 0.22 going with my HVR-4000 I setup a new 0810 install with VDR instead of MythTV.
Unfortunately I have no experience whatsoever with VDR.
So all is in place and installed.
Choosing media > TV serves me a NO SIGNAL image.
I have followed the LMCE/VDR wiki page, and had to ad the -f 1 to the scan command in order for SCAN to use the secondary frontend of the HVR-4000.
sudo scan -f 1 -o vdr -p -u /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/be-Schoten > channels.conf
Scanning worked allright, and gave me a nice channels.conf.
I'm not sure where uploading this file using pluto webadmin does put this file, but I found a channels.conf in /var/lib/vdr/channels.conf (owner root) and this was not the channels.conf file that I uploaded.
So, where does the channels.conf file need to go for LMCE?
Next I assume that analogous to MythTV, VDR should somewhere be told to use the correct frontendN of the DVB-T card?
Below is a list of what is in /dev/dvb/adapter0/
linuxmce@dcerouter:/dev/dvb/adapter0$ ls -l

crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 7 2009-12-18 11:31 net1
Now where do I configure VDR to use frontend1?
VDRADMIN-AM
I have vdradmin-am up and running.
Is there someplace here to configure dvb card settings?
Thanks a lot for you help!

Short update:
After rebooting I found my channels.conf to be in place (I had copied it manually over to /var/lib/vdr/channels.conf)
Having a look at the log:

So I really guess I should somewhere point VDR to /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1/
Suppose you have more than one TV adapter in your system, how would you select adapter0 or adapter1 in VDR?
