Yes, this is just for security reasons that you can not start it
directly as root, it is possible to override this with the command-
line-option "--allow-root".

This is also right, because the user lucian does not have the
necessary rights to write to this directory. (vdr normally runs as
user vdr on a debian system)

You should just use the init-script and should start vdr with
"/etc/init.d/vdr start". The problem what you have is that it seems
that the dvb-driver is not fully loaded, my guess is that you need to
load the frontend-module also, but i do not know which one is needed
for your card - you could try the module stv0299.

So please try "modprobe stv0299" and "modprobe dvb-ttpci" before
calling "/etc/init.d/vdr start" - please watch the /var/log/syslog on
another console when you execute these commands via 
"tail -f /var/log/syslog".

Sorry again for the delayed answer, but as is said allready, my spare 
time is very limited at the moment.


Regards,
Thomas
