Try forcing the network cards to 10Mbit mode? 

In full-duplex, it should provide adequate bandwidth for DVB, given that most 
streams are in the 3-4 Mbit/sec region...

A network switch will certainly solve your problems (assuming the problem is 
length, and not a badly manufactured cable)

Oh, and thankyou for pointing out www.m-i-b-u.de/vdrsp - I didn't know such a 
wonderful piece of software existed! :)))

Cheers,
Gavin.
