 have to worry about mysql etc.)

-  * Unless you want to get lirc or the (experimental) %%FreeBSD%% uhid(4) patches in the vdr remote plugin working first (and your remote has enough buttons for vdr, some of those coming with dvb tuners are really quite `minimal', see below), you probably will at least initially want to use keyboard control.  I have included an example remote.conf for vdr-sxfe and the multimedia/vdr-plugin-control plugin that you can access by telnet (default port is 2002), I have put the menu button on the tab and insert keys and OK on the return key, see /usr/local/etc/vdr/remote.conf for the full keybindings list.  (If you start vdr in the foreground and keep that shell open you should be able to use that for keyboard control also, the control plugin just gives you an osd too over telnet.)
