Been using DVD player for a short while, but had to switch back for now. Observations so far:
When playing live TV from tvheadend, MPEG2 streams are fine, but h264 buffer for a while (takes longer to start playing), and then black screen and only sound.
I can't tell whether menus perform better over the top or not - timeline view is slow usually anyway, which I think is down to the amount of data that is being loaded.
DVDplayer still puts live TV to 1080p 25Hz when switching to best resolution - would be better either as 1080i, or better still 1080p 50Hz.
DVDplayer is MUCH faster at starting a MPEG2 video - even HD (BBC for example)
