Don't you only have one demux device though?  ie if the problem is to get 3
PS or PES streams (I don't know what the difference is?) then it isn't
possible to do anything except program up the registers to get 3 streams as
a TS out of the dvr device?

The point is that mythtv has some existing code which reads a PS into a
nuppelvideo container and is really designed for recording analogue tv out
of a v4l device.  The best bolt on to this code is to provide a tuner device
which can supply a single demux PS so that we can replace the v4l compress
code.  However, it would also be nice to simulate the effect of having extra
tuners where possible so that we can record two streams (only if they are on
the same mux of course).

I don't think this is particularly a bodge, but I would like to get
something working and to be honest I don't really understand what a
PS/PES/TS stream really is....

Thanks
