For live tv it will be broken as well in Windows XP. It is a TsReader and Cyberlink codec related issue. I'll fix that after I'll receive the new GT220 GPU.

Tourettes, are you sure you have DXVA on durning DVD playpack? On Cyberlink side it needs to be enabled in registry to enable DXVA for MP - it is defined by application executable name. I bet you are runing in software mode and that is reson why it is working for you.
It is not problem of MP, it is problem of EVR + DXVA, same problem have MPC-HC player and GBPVR (using same Graph durning DVD playback).
It is defined here:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyberlink\Common\CLVSD\MediaPortal]
"UIUseHVA"=dword:00000001DVD playback was primary designet for overlay renderer - and yes, it is working fine on all system using overlay, but overlay nobody using in these days, it is too outdated.
"Just think of those users who have issues with HDMI connected TV turned of causing MP to stop audio playback as D3D device is lost It is only XP related issue, cured (actually working around the bad MP design / architechture) by DirectX 9 Ex."
- For me this was Vista issue, XP had no problems.

have the same problem with win 7 - only if i use HDMI 3 Input on my Panasonic it works. When i use HDMI Input 1+2 my audio device also get's lost after standby.

Yes, was working fine before I moved from Cyberlink codec to MS MPEG2 decoder (deinterlace and CPU usage was both used to verify this). The reason for this change was that Cyberlink's DVD navigator did have a buggy implementation and it caused constant seeking for DVD drive during the playback (sounded like reading from the beginning and current playback position switching.).
Same graph doesn't mean the code is same. The "visible part" of graph is only a minor a part in the playback process, as the player application can set multiple different parameters for decoder and renderer. Also the renderer implementation is always different on application basis (unless GBPVR is using copy paste code from MP, which I really doubt).
So, it could be a bug in both applications, instead of a platform limitation.
True, as overlay cannot be mixed properly with the DirectX. Not true that DVD playback is designed for overlay only. For MPEG2 decoder it doesn't make any difference if the MPEG2 encoded video is sourced from a DVD, MPEG file or live tv. All are treated as equals (content protection has few small differences but it is not affecting the HW decoding). Also menus are rendered as overlay (but this overlay doesn't have anything to do with the video overlay technology) but instead the overlay means here that video decoder receives extra bitmap for the menus (and subtitles) that it must mix on top of the decoded video (and this is why using corresponding video decoder and DVD navigator filter is highly recommended).
As you see, no OS is perfect for all users
But in general if the GPU drivers are bug free on the input detection side then the issue is not happening on Windows 7 (or Vista). On XP D3D will be lost every time when device connection is removed (some drivers might not cause the device removal event, looks like you are using such version). For example ATI did have issues for the HDMI detection in Vista drivers for almost a year, but now they should be solved.

I still doubt DXVA was on. Deinterlace is done by CPU in DXVA off (and you will didnt notice) and CPU usage is always wery low on current hardware. I am (SAF) not using Cyberlink DVD navigator, MS one is used.
To check if DXVA is trully on you need to do flowing:
- Get MPC-HC player
- in MPC-HC, View - Options - External Filters and add here Cyberlink or MS DVD decoder and setup as prefered.
- Play DVD/MPEG file in MPC-HC
- Check if DXVA is on:
Enable software decoding to use some deinterlace mode that produces only 25fps from 50i source video and set HW deinterlace to use vector adaptive (produces 50p form 50i source). In that case if you see 50fps in MP the deinterlace has been done on HW.
btw. some of the possible navigation issues (only in HW mode) with SAF are going to be sourced from the DVD navigator not matching the MPEG2 decoder.
Unfortunately you cannot compare two program results as you aren't able to rule out the different implementation for renderer etc.
is there a point to argueing which OS is best? .... (i would argue XP or W7)
i think the most important thing to sort out is to get consistent RGB levels ie 16-235 vs 0-255. preferably expand all video to 0-255, that way pictures look good too.
