If you are using the streamdev plugin: yes
There are different ways to achieve that vdr only uses the TV-Out part of
your card.
BUT it's wasted resources. Put the second DVB-S card in the server, connect
it to the dish and buy a dxr3 card for your client.

You could use the lnb-sharing-patch.
BUT if possible with your cabling, get a used quad LNB for about 10? (ebay).

yes

if they share the same transponder/frequency yes
for example you can record PRO7 and SAT1 and N24 and DSF and Kabel1
simultaneously
