Hi, to all! This is my first post, but had to register and congratulate the author of the guide and specially the author of the xbmc + vdr integration.
That said, let's comment some things.
@chene
Yes, it works with DVB-S/S2. It all depends on your hardware.
@megacrypto
You're already using V4L-DVB. The Only difference is that it's already upstream (V4L-DVB API 3) and the newest as of 2.6.28 is V4L-DVB API 5 (S2API) that supports DVB-S2 and others. Think of it - the new API, that is - as an extension to the old API, allowing for more devices to be recognised and working out-of-the-box. The same happened with your Nexus-S. 2.6.29 already was support for most S2 capable devices.
@philter
vdr works with xine-vdpau + vdr-xine 0.9.0 or xineliboutput 1.0.3 or xineliboutput cvs.
I've been following that topic on xbmc vdpau integration and it rocks. After vdr integration, it's the second best news this year about xbmc. Finally a perfect media-center.
@hotzenpl0tz
streamdev stands for streaming device. It's a vdr plugin for streaming over a network (or locally). It's kind off the same concept as mythTV backend -> frontend.
