1 Hello guys.
2 I just wanted to ask if anybody here has set up a pvr350 card with vdr.
3
4 I followed the instructions on the pvr-wiki in the gentoo section
5 and installed the card properly. I have installed the vdr-pvr350
6 and the vdr-analogtv - plugins.

25 Ok, seems to be great but i cannot start the vdr daemon:
26 hate# /etc/init.d/vdr start
27 * Preparing start of vdr:
28 * config files ... [ ok ]
29 * Prerequisits (devices nodes etc.) ...
30 * could not start vdr: dvb device not found [ !! ]
31 * Starting vdr-1.3.36 ... [ ok ]
32 * Waiting for working vdr ...
33 * aborted, please check logfile [ !! ]
34

36 Ok, thats right. I don't have a DVB card, so I haven't configured one
37 and so I don't have a dvb device. The mentioned logfile is empty.
38
39 What should I do? How to disable the dvb-check? What is the next step?
40 Thanks in advance
