I've been using VDR for about a year and a half now and it's great. But with 
all due respect, I think you're doing this the wrong way around. At least 
here in Finland, decent DVB subtitles support is pretty much the only thing 
VDR needs to be usable out-of-the-box with the free channels we have.

In my opinion DVB-S2/H.264 are "nice to have" extra features, but working DVB 
subtitling support is a "must have" feature for PVR software like VDR, 
because almost everyone needs DVB subtitles around here, but not that many 
watch HDTV channels yet.
