My thoughts exactly :) And even if the 'spudec' in the VideoLAN client 
doesn't support the more advanced 'colour areas' used by the more recent 
Dxr3 plugins to get a full-colour display, then we still have a usable 
(if not pretty..) solution.

My personal focus would really be Windows - so that a Linux machine
would act as a standalone STB with VDR / OSD / IR remote control, but
also be able to hook into a home network and let normal users 'just
watch TV' - no rocket science, no Linux needed, usable even by your
mother, etc.

Just download the client, configure the IP of the Windows machine in
VDR, and away you go. Just think, DVB on Windows without crappy drivers
=) Plus you'd benefit from all the recordings already on the VDR box..
from a simple STB to a full 'video-on-demand' server, all through a 
familiar, comfortable interface.

Yes, I know I'm getting a bit carried away, but it's such a good idea, 
IMO =)
