Safer diseqc setup ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm using VDR4You distribution, and I don't want to install kaffeine on it.
I want to keep it small ;)

I need to check if vdr is sending something that is not suposed to.
Note that  vdr works for channels on LNB1 if you disable diseqc in the
setup.
