I had VDR running without its frontend ages ago with a USB DVB-S 
receiver.  I used a web interface to it to schedule recordings.  Once 
the DVB "card" was working (with dvbstream etc) I don't remember it 
being very difficult, but I wasn't using it's on-screen frontend.  It 
would quite happily try and record more than one program from a 
multiplex at once the only problem being the lack of bandwidth on the 
USB1 interface to the DVB receiver.
