This is only possible if you can get mpeg file trasmitted over IP
by some specialized dvb-to-ip network source of course, standard 
DVB broadcasts like RTL, ZDF etc can't be recorded using dvb_net IP.

This won't work on dvb-s, as the dvb-s type of network is far from correctly
functional because of its bandwidth transport bottleneck

I know it sucks to have 2 cards! You know, (This should go to FAQ):

'full featured dvb-s card' is simply mis-named because it is not FULL 
featured at all!

The feature "FULL TS BANDWIDTH", important for large bandwidth downloads 
and proper network functioning is simply missing in 'full featured dvb-s cards' 
and is only available on 'Budget' type of cards that in turn don't have 
hardware MPEG2. 

I used to have both dvb-s and budget cards to get true full-feature
until I got bored and I hardware patched my dvb-s to add full 
ts bandwith capability (this is called budget-patch) so I finally 
got rid of Budget card.
