hi Christian,
really sorry for the html tags...*
*my dvb-s card is a
Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-s Plus PCI 
<http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_NOVA-s_Plus_PCI>*
*and actually, it is a budget card so i guess there is no onboard mpeg2 
decoder.
i'll give softdevice a try, even if that sounds a little bit complicated.
thanks a lot for the help.
