I had lots of problems specifically with BBC freeview HD using vdr-xine-plugin. I use debian wheezy with the e-tobi source. I had a feeling it had something to do with the deinterlacing plugin but i could never get it to work however i have recently changed the deinterlacing plugin to bob in the ~/.xine/config-xineliboutput (or something like that) and every thing has worked perfectly ever since.
