I have kernel 3.4.5 with the in-kernel dvb driver, so it must be OK.
I just checked the kernel config, and it seam OK too. But just to be
sure, do you know if it is some specific kernel option that need to be
enabled in order to get the DVB API version 5.5, or is it the only one
that is in the kernel?

In the main time, I will ask on the vdr forum. vdr-1.6.0 here, the last
stable version.
