 files of VDR and its plugins located under /etc/conf.d/ even if OpenRC is not installed
 at all.

+Things which are configured differently:
+
+- Starting the VDR daemon under a user different than 'vdr'. Just as when running under OpenRC, the
+  gentoo-vdr-scripts can be configured to run VDR either as user 'vdr' or as user 'root'.
+  The difference is that under systemd, the setting START_VDR_AS_ROOT in /etc/conf.d/vdr is
+  ignored on purpose, to let the configuration be done "the systemd way".
+
+- The default is to run as user 'vdr'. If running as 'root' is desired, uncomment the 'User=root'
   key under the [Service] section in the file
-  /etc/systemd/system/vdr.service.d/00-gentoo-vdr-user.conf
-  - *If* the plugin 'dbus2vdr' is used, the user who owns the vdr-dbus-service also has to be set to
+  /etc/systemd/system/vdr.service.d/00-gentoo-vdr-user.conf commented "Starting VDR as user 'root'"
+
+- *If* the plugin 'dbus2vdr' is used, the user who owns the vdr-dbus-service also has to be set to
   'root' in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/de.tvdr.vdr.conf if running VDR as user 'root';
 
+- Starting the VDR daemon on a terminal (/dev/tty8 for examle). The settings in /etc/conf.d/vdr are
+  ignored, but this can be achieved by uncommenting the respective entries commented "Starting VDR on
+  terminal" under BOTH sections [Unit] AND [Service] in the file
+  /etc/systemd/system/vdr.service.d/00-gentoo-vdr-user.conf
+  This becomes even necessary if using the plugin vdr-skincurses.
 
 
 Finally, in order to start the VDR daemon under systemd manually, execute:
