Mplayer most definitely supports VDPAU, I use it myself all the time. The one in debian-multimedia, in the testing repository. You need to use a -vc option as well as a -vo option. Put this in your ~/.mplayer/config: vc=ffh264vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffvc1vdpau, vo=vdpau I also added these for DTS and AC3 passthrough via SPDIF (you may need to change "default" to something else): ao=alsa:device=default ac=hwdts,hwac3, I'm not at home right now, so I can't tell you what the exact output from mplayer is when it's using VDPAU, but it does tell you in its output when it's using it. As for using mplayer with a TV tuner card, I tried it once about a year ago to test out the card, before I set up MythTV. The channels.conf file can be generated by the "scan" command from the dvb-apps package.
