This is certainly no option for me.

This may be a good option - Thanks.

... if I would have enough time ... :) 
It shouldn't be to complicated as the transport stream is already
transfered between lokal threads. Adding a network connection in between
should be straight forward. But I don't await that from Klaus because he
has already invested so much time.

This should be easier. Through NFS all have access to the timer.conf
file. Proper locking, adding and regular polling (1 Min intervall) of
all participating clients shouldn't be to complicated. You would need an
additional flag to find out whether recording by someone else is already
done, if not you start the recording.

I hope I get my 5 DVB-s machine running soon. But currently I am waiting
for the new Gigabyte 7ZXR mainboard and also have not much time during
september. Then I would like to setup a two local VDRs (4 and 1 DVBs)
and see how I can implement the above functionality. This would save me
a separate box as I have already an inhouse video distribution network.
