Is there any differences between manual compile and using synaptic when install xbmc and vdr?

depends on what branch you are compiling from. if you compile from the pvr-ppa tree, you'll get the same source as the source that's used to build the ppa package: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc/tree/pvr-ppa

the master branch is under development, so unless you know what you're doing, you won't know what you'll get.
