Yes its 100% possible as I've done it before , and quite easy to do and 
works well. vlc can take the multplex, extract each PID( Channel) and then 
send as raw or encode as H264 or whatever you need it to via unicast (of if 
you want multiple recievers at your place, multicast).

An example would be for example 1 Satellite Dish-> Linux box running VLC -> 
transfer into Multicast MPEG streams and then send to large number of people 
in flats or alike to simple IP Based Set Top Boxes such as Amino's.
