Then XBMC will help you ;) Here is one way to integrate VDR and XBMC using streamdev plugin - http://blog.mymediasystem.net/avchd/xbmc-on-karmic-with-vdpau-and-vdr/ There is also another way without streamdev, which is better as people talk.

And then, how does it related to the OP question ?

       Hi Timothy,

       You may try LinuxMCE - http://linuxmce.com, which includes
       VDR, MythTV and now Hulu :) Or you can try XBMC+VDR

To my understanding, yes and no, depends on what you understand to be a desktop. You need X for it and something to launch it. (Flash interface) + Flashplayer (i believe Gnash can't do it yet ?)

The XBMC could be your "Desktop" and i believe, what the answers before trying you to say is you could launch Hulu Desktop from within XBMC (not proven as i can't - neither XBMC here yet, nor can i use hulu) So whatever else, you need X and display X on your TV.
