hi,
I do not know how hard it might be to actually replay such a stream properly on a FF card, but why should it be impossible to record the stream with a FF card?
i think the limitation is the av7111; the chip simply cannot handle 20mbit datastream. since the tuner data outputs are not directly connected to the saa video bridge (like the budget patch does) there wont be a chance recording hdtv (mpeg2) with a ff card.
And why does it have to crash?
vdr and the av7111 dont know that the signal is a hdtv stream. therfore they want to process it, since vdr was designed to do this ;)
wait for the "new" streamingboxes (em8550 based) or new "dxr6" card (em8620 based), then it would be possible to "live-view" hdtv within vdr with a budget card - or design a hdtv ff card based on the trimedia pnx1500 chip :)

I'm not holding my breath. Since <expletive deleted> sigma design won't release specs for the discontinued chipset used in the dxr3 (which I doubt will harm them or disclose earth shattering secrets that their competitors could use), I doubt they will release them for their new!(tm) and improved!(tm) one.
