MythTV is designed to record TV shows.  When faced with a digital 
stream, it will tell the tuner card to only give it those streams it is 
interested in.  Once recorded, you can open the file up in 'od' and scan 
through it to your hearts desire.  If you actually want the whole 
unfiltered multiplex straight out of the demod, I'm not certain if tuner 
cards are even set up to allow that, but your query would best be 
handled by LinuxTV, the project that actually writes and maintains the 
tuner drivers.
