Yes. That for I'm blocking a PCI-slot (USB 2.0-controller removed) with
a 250 Eur expensive DVB-S just to grab the picture from the V4L. 

It works fine (didn't test EPG, yet), but after switching to an
unavailable channel (e.g. scrambled one) screen is black and I have to
restart VDR on the server to get it working again (VDR on the server
works fine, but no picture on the client). 

But I like the way to watch liveTV with MPlayer and streamdev-plugin
much more - especially with my patch for vdradmin it is handy. 

What I don't like with the VDR-VDR-solution is the need of additional
hardware (loading DVB-driver -> starting vdr -> starting KVDR).

P.S.: The only reason I see to keep MPEG-PES is the bandwith, as the TS
has 25-40 MBit/s and the demuxed PES has 3-4 MBit/s. So TS could burst
the network, but it seems to be more reliable.
