Even simpler: you can use

  VDR -> softdevice plugin -> framebuffer + TVout or DVI.

The DirectFB driver for the graphics chipset used on the EPIA boards 
made good progress thanks to Andis efforts last weeks, check out the 
latest DirectFB CVS on http://www.directfb.org/.

Then you get a true PiP mode not only displaying the I-frames and 
DVB-subtitles without OSD limitations for free.

Also unlimited colors on the OSD layers, HDTV, DivX and MPEG decoder 
support - well, as soon the av711x related hardcoded limits on the 
palette and resoltion are removed from the VDR core and the av711x 
backend gets a plugin.
