Allowing access to the tv_grab_dvb script (or whatever the script name is)
that uses the DVB-S card and the result is redirected to the user.  Eg.
www.something.com/tv_grab_dvb?days=4&... (whatever the other parameters are
accepted by the tv_grab_dvb script.  The stream output from the card is just
redirected where the user can save this to an xml file or whatever.

Yes but the issue here is storing the data on a server.  Currently anyone
who is storing this is getting cease and desist notice.  This is why I am
asking the question about using a script that connects to a DVB-S card where
the site is not actually storing any data just passing through a stream from
the card.
