Hi, An easy diseqc configuration setup will be useful in core VDR (+1). The reelbox had such a feature in the past don't know if current versions do. Regards halim ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org

IMHO... I've used both, and xineliboutput is arguably easier to get working as you only need the standard xine-lib for your repo, but I've chosen over the years to use vdr-xine as it seems to give the most options to change the front end, as it uses the standard one. I start it with:

I've only ever used vdr-xine and I must say it's pretty easy to get going. I've never used (or installed) Linux as a desktop either, maybe that's where people get problems? For years it was console-only Debian with nexus-s tv-out. When that didn't cut it anymore due to things like hdtv, hdmi,
