Oh I do understand, certainly, and I guess it cuts down on nearly redundant 
code by presenting multiple input formats..

No worries, it's just another dvb-mpegtools prog in the chain before the 
stream gets to VDR =)

"Distributing" .... I'm curious - do you personally have any plans for 
linking multiple VDRs together on a LAN to pool resources?

e.g. 

scenario: 2 VDR boxes each with one DVB card. 

Each box is doing a recording from a different transponder, and you'd like to 
watch a channel on the transponder that the OTHER box is tuned to...

I know it's a bit convoluted, but you get the idea.

Plus it would easily fit in with existing client software like the VideoLAN 
client..

Cheers,
