One general question: Is vdr-sxfe reliable enough on bad-weather-conditions? I have played around last week with VDR-1.5.18 and xineliboutputs internal display window, and it was rock-solid while in the past other solutions like xine or vdr-sxfe crashed if there was a bigger problem with the signal strength. Or do you have implemented some kind of "keep vdr-sxfe alive"-functionality? Because having to start vdr-sxfe manually again is IMHO not really set-top-box-like... :) On the other hand, I would prefer using vdr-sxfe instead of the internal x11 display because then I can release LIRC by shutting down vdr-sxfe e.g. if I want to use Elisa as second Media Center for playing back MP3s and videos in a more comfortable way than VDR can offer...
With kind regards
