Hi Bernard, When I connect one dvb receiver to my vdr box, I can record all the channels that are transmitted on the same frequency. I live in the netherlands, so I can simulanously record Nederland 1,2,3 and all the public radio stations. No configuration is needed for this trick. All the recordings end up in separate files. My DVB receiver is not even capable of filtering out one channel, so the PC gets the complete datastream, and then throws away the data that is not needed. PCTV NanoStick 73e SE http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_nano_Stick_%2873e%29 I however do not have experience with DVB-S, only DVB-T.
