Hmm. I have the same (yaVDR) running on an ION330 box. The channels I
most have problems with are 1080i HD at bitrates of around 9-10 MB/s.
Perhaps you could post your ~/.xine/config_xineliboutput to
http://gist.github.com or http://paste.ubuntu.com ?

Yes, I don't use the xvdr plugin as it is still very buggy. I simply
take the playlist of channels from streamdev (available at
http://example.com:3000/ on your vdr box) and generate .strm files [1]
which I access from a vanilla XBMC Eden via the Videos --> Files
browser.

Yep I did know about these, but XBMC provides a much richer experience
for DVD, Blu-ray playback. e.g., cataloguing and display of a library,
automatic display framerate switching etc.
