My current vdr-1.4.7 (compiled 2 years ago as of tomorrow!) is still serving me well.. I have a Technotrend FF DVB-C doing all the heavy lifting, but as time moves on and HD content becomes more prevalent, I'm thinking of moving up.
Right now I have an EPIA 800MHz quiet PC with the Technotrend giving me lovely SCART RGB out... if I got a nice LCD TV, what setup would be ideal for driving the HDMI input?
Most of the content is still SD, and I am a real pedant about smooth video / interlaced output for scrolling text / live sports. Any time that I've played with vdr-xine or xineliboutput over my years with VDR, it's always been a bit juddery due to VGA timing not matching up with the TV.. is that improved any in the world of HD / HDMI?
Take a look at these patches:

I believe they are useful also for HDMI/HD stuff. I haven't tried them yet myself.
