Give Petri Hintukainen's 'xine-lib output' plugin at 
http://www.hut.fi/u/phintuka/vdr a whirl - it opens a window using
xine-lib with VDR OSD overlaid (no Xine UI) and simply forwards any
keyboard keystrokes back to VDR..

As you're using Ed's Xebian - you might encounter a couple of
compilation errors with Debian's gcc - just comment out the 'printf'
statement near line 500 if the 'make' complains...

I'm curious if this works well on the Xbox TV out (i.e. smooth picture
50fps with interlacing) since I also hope to use an Xbox as a bedroom TV
client that can also play great games, and the recent 'software' Linux
installation method via savegames / USB sticks is much less scary than
before :)

Cheers,
Gavin.
