I'm currently working on a plugin streaming a VDR channel over the network
(works locally, too, of course). Currently the data can be streamed into
a shell script, over a simple tcp-based connection, or via RTP multicast.

What you are suggesting is not fully possible yet, but I am still working 
on a solution to follow the channel movements, maybe even display the osd 
(??) or other plugin's output (???).
