The stream is in fact not seekable, because it's a live stream ;)

I'll check on this.

Try that with unicast, it works here (I constructed it that way because I 
wanted that functionality as well) with vdr-1.1.15 and linux-dvb-2002-11-01
I do it quite often. I stream SAT.1 to my Computer and I watch Pro7 on the
TV set. When switching, the output on the client will be disrupted for a
short time (block artefacts for about 1/4 second).

I'll do...

I'm working on it ;)
