This is not possible with the current streaming plugin, as the main purpose of 
that (mainly) was to duplicate the tv screen. 

Because I wanted something like that, too, I have started creating a whole new 
streaming-plugin which uses a Client/Server Protocol similar to the SVDRP and 
FTP protocols.

The client part of the plugin serves as a fully implemented Input-Device 
serving a TS stream to VDR, and the server part works with receivers.

You could easily implement other clients that are controlled by a simple 
script and output via mplayer.

The plugin is mainly ready and works here, but since I only have one 
full-featured card for the server and one DXR3-Client, my testing 
possibilities are limited.

Anyone with more than one dvb-card or more than one client willing to help out 
here?

This is planned as a future addition, too.
