The only solution I can think of is a hardware solution:
Disconnect the S-Video out jack from whatever it is connected
to right now and connect it to the DVB-S card's S-Video out.

I have put an additional S-Video out jack into an existing hole
of my vdr PC case and I am using it all the time 
("insmod dvb.o vidmode=2 ...").

Actually, my setup is: VDR in the living room, S-Video out and
optical SPDIF out (from 4xsound card) connected to the AC3 
amp. Normal video and audio out (slot cover of DVB-S card)
connected to an old-fashioned VCR that serves as a 
"line amplifier" for the remote bedroom via an antenna cable
that also carries the remote control signal the other way.

Works well for me.


Carsten.
