Great input, Nico. Allthough you might have confused MB/s and Mbit/s? 
Let see if I understand correctly:

1. 2MB/s ~ 16Mbit/s
2. A DVD can have a maximum throughput of 9.8MBit/s
3. We assume that the maximum throughput of a dvb card is the same as DVD

If I understand correctly, wouldn't it be worth to try if things work 
better with a patched version of lavc that has a bitrate boundary at 
9.8MBit/s? What do you think? Who could we ask for such a patch? :) Can 
you do it yourself? :) I can't program anything except printf/scanf 
things yet :)

Sebastian
