The netv from chumby seems to be perfect as a hardware client to VDR,
if it can decode mpeg2/h.264. Does anyone here know any more about
this product? It seems to be fairly open, and based on an embedded
linux distro.

Hi,

From what I read about it yesterday I had the impression that it can be used for displaying "anything but videos" on top of the external sources picture (that - by the way - can't come from an internal tuner integrated in the TV). "Anything but videos" IMHO means: Web pages, photos, rss news, its own OSD.

So IMHO it's not meant to be used as a video player / video streaming device like - for example these upcoming devices:
