I see no reason to use xbmc as vdr frontend. Personally I use lirc/irexec to
switch between vdr-sxfe and xbmc. The "DVD Player" button switches to xbmc,
and "Live TV" or "Recorded TV" for vdr-sxfe. As for startup times, my
clients use 28-30W and have no fans or hdd's so I have them on 24/7. At
least during Swedish winter a have use for them anyway...
