Me neither, DVB is not available here. >> but fast forward and rewind do not work, at least not in the sense that >> any end user would be expecting, fast forward does not mean "skip >> 30seconds" and rewind does not mean "skip back 30 seconds".

MPlayer and Xine can play all sort of video media where as you PVR sticks to MPEG-2 (and maybe MPEG-4). Some of the formats don't support reverse play so I think that they have taken the easy option and don't implement reverse playback. >> Other PVR function includes things like On Screen Display of current >> channel while watching TV, moving through channels on screen with now/next >> appearing at the bottom of the screen to pick another channel without >> having to stop viewing the program you are watching.

Jason has done something like this, at least I think so, with the bmovl plug-in and a mplayer patch. I tried to install it once but wasn't sure against which revision of mplayer the patch was for.
