Yes, but what could VDR do with a dvb card whcih is locked to one
transponder.
Do you want to stream whatever you see? Wouldn't it be better in this
case to do that in VDR?

Should the driver send RTP packets over thew network or do you want
another packet format (in addition to TS, PS and PES)?

I made a plugin for the realplayer (under Linux) which uses RTSP and RTP
and i able to decode a mpeg2 transport stream send by an do-it-yourself
video server. I could send it to you if you're interested.
