Your card and cable are working fine ! Nice ! So now let's try changing the setup.conf ! But bne sure that vdr is stopped before changing the file as vdr saves the setup.conf file before leaving (well, that's what I noticed !)... By the way, before doing that ! Did you load the DXR3 plugin when starting vdr ? Because even if you use the wrong primary device for input, you should at least see the OSD on the TV ! Hope it helps.
