Look at dvb-apps/test/test_dvr.c. If that doesn't help then please
post more details (or source code), it's highly non-optimal if we
have to guess what you might be doing wrong.

Note that the current API is somewhat limited in that all DMX_OUT_TS_TAP
packets go to a single dvr device, hence you must post-demux in software
if you want to stream different programs to a different socket.
The V4 API attempts to improve on this (but the public prototype driver
is no necessarily functional).
