Thanks!

I installed everything, but I have a little problem; xine complains:

	There is no input plugin available to handle 
	'vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes'.
	Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist.

And the directory /tmp/vdr-xine/ actually doesn't even exist on my box. vdr is 
running and /var/log/messages looks fine:

I used 'szap' to select a channel:

	reading channels from file '/home/me/.szap/channels.conf'
	zapping to 8 'ProSieben':
	sat 0, frequency = 12480 MHz V, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x00ff, apid = 	
	0x0100
	using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
	FE_SET_TONE failed: Connection timed out
	FE_DISEQC_SEND_MASTER_CMD failed: Connection timed out
	FE_DISEQC_SEND_BURST failed: Connection timed out
	FE_SET_TONE failed: Connection timed out

szap doesn't return though and every second I get this message on the console:

	status 01 | signal ffff | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |

Not sure if this OK or not. Any hints what I could do?
