It's only surface, 
how about universal channel list with geographic settings,
scanning and getting duplicate entries...
one day VDR needs to integrate with TV or one day it gets
better decoder, able to decode several programs at the same TS ->
all of the above will lead to discarding the channel database
and inventing something more suitable

If you both use XML (it even doesn't have to be same XML syntax),
you could have independend XSL transformation 'config
importers/exporters' that can convert from xawtv to vdr and vice
versa! Imagine, config files exchangeable and you don't need to
even, touch you application, just change *.xsl filter files 
:)
