Thanks Onno, I understand now. I did not realise that kvdr requires
overlay (it isn't clear from the web site), I had hoped it might have
the MPEG decoder built-in.

It looks like softdevice 0.0.5 with Xv output
(http://www.k13zoo.de/vdr/ and more patches http://www.lucke.in-berlin.de/)
or vdr-xine (http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/) would help.

xineliboutput seems to do the opposite.

Thanks
Hamish
