Unfortunately, afaik that is impossible.

However, if you use VDR and the softcam plugin (VDR-SC) you can do that.

I havn't tried it, but according to other postings is should work.

It's probably illegal in some countries, even if you have a valid
subscription.

I'd love to have a descrambler that can be used as a filter:

dvbstream | descramble | mplayer

In the Windows world it's almost there: http://joshyfun.peque.org/OfflineDescrambler/

I've used it once when I needed to record two scrambled programs sent
simultaneous on the same DVB-S transponder.
