This should be easy.

If you split VDR in two instances (one uses 3 cards and one uses 1
card). Then you can use the single card instance for playback without
without intereferencing with the 3-card instance.

But this is only from the manual. I never actually tried that, because
my VDR-Version is much to old for that. (VDR 0.68)

I just type "play <movie>" on my "control" computer
(-> "ssh dvb killall vdr; scp <movie> dvb:/dev/video0". But this
doesn't work anymore with current versions of the driver. But AFAIK you
can stream the data-stream through ntuxplay to get a similar behaviour.)
