yes. dvbstream has a -o option that sends to standard out, so you can pipe
it into mplayer for example.

Havent tried in the last few days, probably will be fixed shortly. I will
try soon.

dont worry, its not much time. My machine has been recording for a few days
running now and kdvb-fe has used 35:48 min of cpu time, as against 191:17 m
for the program to read the transport stream, 185:20m for the buffer, and
2688:21 m for the tcp server. Since Thursday or so. (I have now
recorded 187GB of the all the BBC channels to exercise my disks). SO the
kernel process is not very significant
