Is VDR the correct tool?
I am not sure that vdr is the best tool for recording/time shifting/whatever encrypted analog video. It is the best tool for digital (DVB-S, DVB-T...) by far.
Agreed.
The best way to play the other media - avi etc - is xine.
Have you checked the MMS project?
Unlike MPlayer, My Media System and Xine don't support ivtv output without X, but I'd also say that MMS and Freevo are worth taking a look at if you are willing to run a lightweight X session (it's not that heavy anyway; ten years ago I used X happily on ~ 100 MHz Pentium machines and 64 MB RAM).
