I would simply like to know what the reason was to develop TVheadend?
What exactly was the target?
Should it be a replacement for VDR?
Are there any advantages over VDR, or are these programs not comparable?
Does it maybe fit better to XBMC?
Any explanation welcome. I just want to understand the meaning.

you'll have to ask the developer, andoma. it's not developed by team xbmc if that's what you're thinking. it's an aternative for vdr, mythtv, ...
don't think someone made a comparison between those.
it might be a "better fit" for xbmc because I'm maintaining the tvheadend add-on myself, so it'll be up to date quickly when something changed in xbmc. it normally doesn't take long before the vdr add-on is updated too though. the latest mediaportal add-on is windows-only at the moment and mythtv hasn't been updated for a while.

Thanks for the information.
I am used to VDR since a few years now and is running stable like hell.
But maybe i will try some alternative, even if have have absolutly no issue with VDR.
Is there anywhere a setup guide for TVheadend?
