You could buy a full featured DVB-s (satellite) or DVB-c (cable) card  as 
primary interface (around 180 EUR or cheaper from ebay) and then use vdr to 
feed the primary card with data in transfed mode. Note however that 
currenly the drivers have a problem with no signal on the primary card and 
ARM crash. This will hopefully be fixed in the future but until then you 
either need a strong statellite or cable signal on the primary card.

A second DVB-T card would probably be quite nice for recording from 
different transponders however if you look at the list archives people here 
are reporting ARM crashes or tuning problems and lines running throug the 
TV output pic with full featured DVB-T cards. Some better some worse than 
others. No one is quite sure why and whether it's a driver / firmware 
problem or whether the rare full featured DVB-T cards have some kind of 
design error.
