In the first place I'm talking about HDTV and VDR. If you are used to use VDR, then the punched through VDR isn't the real deal, but it's rather a matter of feeling, than any hard facts. In general, the channel switch time using HDTV is much longer, in both systems. Maybe it's the usability aspect, because the navigation is different, and your channel groups work differently, too. I've been told, some people switch between these two application, by some self made scripts, in order not being forced to use the VDR feature from inside XBMC. This sounds like a reasonable solution, because a similar, although a bit more sophisticated, but more or less the same approach we do use in MyMediaSystem, too. Actually I can't say, whether you can expect your family to accept the XBMC solution. I've tried it with my fam for two days, and they didn't like it. Guess it's also a matter of taste. @Sam

Is it unstable? missing features? etc? The reason i'm asking, is coz i'm wanting to do a similar setup, but i don't need VDPAU or HDTV, my stuff is basicly SD and my box has a decent CPU, my main desire is for my wife & kids to watch TV and use the rest of XBMC for other media too.. I like myth but its just not easy for my family to simply plugin external media (usb sticks, cameras, memory cards..) and view the content easily. Thus i'm rather excited about this! i take it xbmc-vdr branched has been merged into trunck. Exciting times indeed! When you say, “…using VDR from within XBMC is hardly usable” what did u mean?
