Try dvbstream from dvbtools .

http://freshmeat.net/projects/dvbtools/
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dvbtools/dvbstream-0.5.tar.gz?download

To record ie. from ProSieben :
dvbstream -ps -f 12480 -p v -D 0 -s 27500 -v 255 -a 256 -t 32 -n 10 -o /tmp/20060903_103422.ps

To stop the recording, simply send a 'TERM' signal (or press CTRL+C).
