Well, there is the HD-Extension card by Reel. It has no tuner but one
can just use a seperate tuner card or hope somebody builds a version with
added tuner/tuners in the future.
One could even run VDR on a stand-alone board with the same decoder
chip. But again, somebody would first have to build it in quantity.

 This feature is so interesting that I certainly wouldn't mind, even if it
 would a very good feature to be included in the 1.5 vdr release... :)

Reminds me of old electronics magazine 'Byte', there was one fellow,
Steve Ciarcia, with all kind of hardware projects.  He allways said
'the most efficient compiler is solder'

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing in hardware.

Ouch!

Well, maybe we should all chip in a couple dollars and buy Klaus a new
pc that can handle h264.  Can build one for just a couple hundred
bucks.

H.264 will only become interesting (to me) once there are hardware
devices that can replay it (aka "Full Featured DVB cards").
I am not interested in software players that might not even run
on my 450 MHz VDR.

Until then, normal MPEG2/DVB-S does just fine for me.

I would love to have VDR support H.264 recording on DVB-S.

as with the smart channel management.
