What about running the full-featured DVB-cards in transfer-mode, too and
stop displaying on tv after user-timeout has been reached.

That way the cards will be freed after user-timeout. If you free the
frontends when no recording/watching/epg-scanning is active, too, this
would also be an effective way to save power and heat in conjunction
with "options dvb-core dvb_shutdown_timeout=5".
