I didn't try vdr-1.5.11 because there is no H.264 patch for it.
I really don't understand why they are not investigated to be intregrated into vdr at this time as more and more TV are going to go to H.264 (not all in HDTV).
The answer is very simple: I'm currently working on other things.
And as long as there isn't at least a (graphics) card that supports decoding the "good old" MPEG2 in a quality that is at least as good as that of the FF DVB cards, as well as decoding H.264/HDTV in *hardware*, this whole area has next to no priority for me. I am not interested in software decoding this stuff - I don't want to have an extra heater in my living room ;-)

I don't know if that card is actually available or not, but worth checking out anyway..
From what I can see in this thread
http://vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=51286
(sorry, it's in German) this card is being discussed rather controversial...
From the pictures and description I also don't see any optical
SPDIF output to which I could connect my Dolby-Digital decoder. AFAIK the HDMI connector also provids the digital audio, but that would go to the tv set - how would it go to the DD decoder?
