I personally have no experience with more than one DVB card, but how about a "DVB streaming server"? AFAIK this is possible with current linuxdvb and VDR, and this could be an even more interesting target if more and more streaming clients are available. Of course, current PCs do have a huge amount of bandwidth resources, but such a device should be low-power, and so a not so powerful CPU would be preferred. From former experiments I know that a 266 MHz Geode does in fact have significant load when simply streaming two or three SDTV streams from the same transponder - but as this is about 5 years ago, I do not recall the exact numbers. Again, personally I do not have much experience with the demux except using it, but the discussion got quite emotional, so I want to try to reduce it to use cases and pros/cons of different approaches.
