Why would this be nescessary ?
If you use a display device that can accept VGA input (Plasma display or
Video projector f.x.) the software MPEG-2 player would take over playback
completely and let VDR do the recording. When you want to view live TV, it
could be done via xawtv.

The only problem is the amount of work involved in using such a system and
the lack of good software players for linux.
