I've not found a way of recording a whole multiplex on the Pi. On Windows,
VLC can be pointed at a DVB tuner (File | Open Capture Device) and can view
any channel from it or can record the whole mux.

But I've not managed to make that work with VLC on Linux (either Ubuntu or
Raspbian), even when I give it the path of the decoder (/dev/dvb/adaptor0
with various permutations of sub-devices) so maybe there's a permission
problem.

It is weird to record a whole mux and then be able to play it back and watch
one channel (a different one each time!) from a load of simultaneous ones.


I'll have to experiment with dvbstream... I presume I need to sudo it so it
runs as root.
