Hmm. I have the same (yaVDR) running on an ION330 box. The channels I most have problems with are 1080i HD at bitrates of around 9-10 MB/s. Perhaps you could post your ~/.xine/config_xineliboutput to http://gist.github.com or http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
I use an Asus AT3N7A-I mainboard with the TT 3650-CI which is an ION330 configuration as well and I frequently watch 1080i channels from my provider (Canal Digitaal) without any issues at all. The only issue I have is that the buffering is slower then my old Reel Multimedia ExtensionHD configuration, so it takes somewhat longer to get a picture (max 5 sec).
My xineliboutput configuration is default, I didn't make any changes to it what so ever.
Yes, I don't use the xvdr plugin as it is still very buggy. I simply take the playlist of channels from streamdev (available at http://example.com:3000/ on your vdr box) and generate .strm files [1] which I access from a vanilla XBMC Eden via the Videos --> Files browser.
I'll check this tomorrow and post my experience using this method.
Yep I did know about these, but XBMC provides a much richer experience for DVD, Blu-ray playback. e.g., cataloguing and display of a library, automatic display framerate switching etc.
XBMC does indeed provide a much richer experience and it's a very powerfull frontend. However, personally I don't like the PVR integration in its current state and it produces all kind of WAF-issues ;)
