Me too. I know there's a Gentoo project for the VDR application. But |

basically I think the OP was reffering to a software rather than a |
| 11 |
project and wants a comparision. |

I'm running VDR, but not the Gentoo ebuild but rather compiled directly |
| 14 |
from source (all dependencies done by Gentoo, though). |

Yes. But there are plugins to make it work with analog tv, too. See all |
| 21 |
those plugins in media-plugins/vdr-*, I think at least the analogtv and |
| 22 |
pvr* plugins are made for this. |

That's true. And I think there are still some minor glitches w/ regard |
| 29 |
to PAL/NTSC (PAL is default). |

http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Main_Page |
