Oh well, I wonder how you got Linux running, if you don't read the documentation and the online-resources (sorry, couldn't resist). VDR is originally designed to work with a remote control - but you don't need one. After the first start it insists on learning at least one way to control it - the keyboard. If you don't have a full-featured card, you should compile it with 'OSD_DEBUG=1' to see the on-screen-display messages on the console. Then start it, teach it the basic commands (even though you'll never need them; it's just a matter of a minute or so) and after that you can control it via telnet to port 2001.
