The Video Disk Recorder (VDR) is a free, non-commercial project from Klaus Schmidinger to create a digital video recorder using standard PC components. It is possible to receive, record and playback digital TV broadcasts compatible with the DVB standard

For this PPA we assume you have installed Ubuntu Karmic Koala.
The PPA contains the Developer Version of VDR (1.7.10) and Plugins

Most of the Packages we provide are unmodified debian-packages
from the e-tobi Debian Repository :
