Yes sure. With vdr-{sxfe,fbfe} you get a remote OSD from the server VDR, i.e.
you work on the server, not the RPi. No data is transferred over the net
except the OSD when cutting.

For SD 100 MBit is fine. For HD it should be okay also. As far as Wifi, 54
MBit is okay-ish for SD but better go for 300 on 5 GHz (to make sure the
wifi is near-exclusively used for the VDR link).

Better use HDMI pass-through and have the AC3 receiver decode the stream. The Pi
has only a 2.0 analog output anyway, so there's little point in decoding on
the Pi.
