Hi, I'm not a broadcasting expert (so I may be wrong) but as long as I 
could see, working for a year in a center where new technologies 
connected with dvb were tested, the only "cards" having ASI ports I 
could see where professsional appliances made for broadcasters ("made 
for broadcaster" implies price > 30000 Euros).
Among these kind of hardware, you can also find devices that take your 
TS and validate it, to see if it's correct.

Anyway, if your problem is just validating your TS before (i.e. without) 
modulating it, can't you just feed it in dvbsnoop? I mean, you receive 
DVB-S and demux it (that's linuxtv drivers job), then you remux it (I 
think you wrote some code that takes the PIDs you need and puts then 
together and updates control tables, and finally you dump this to a file 
or just pipe it into dvbsnoop. That seems so easy that maybe I'm just 
failing to understand your real needs...
