I M still trying to decide if I add a dvb dvr device with software
demuxes to the ivtv driver, or if I just do a ts2ps in
ivtvdecoder. The latter is probably less work in the short run.

OK, I will see that I can add that. The switch is called sw101d and
has also 6 different methods to switch between the LNBs. I chose
method 2. Try a google search and you will see what I am talking
about.
