[vdr] Popcorn as VDR frontend

[alexw]

That's a good question. After drilling into the news, the answer is no. 
If you want to do so you need to have an UDP proxy to convert to either 
HTTP or WMS/RTSP. This tool can be located on the PCH itself and will 
act as an abstraction layer.

Cheers,

Alex
