What about a virtual /dev/videoX for low budget DVB cards?
The idea behind is to provide a device set with every type of card (low
budget, full featured) so that for example tvtime works with every type
of card.

The virtual device could be made by the following way:
kernel driver (low budget, DVB-Decoded) -> kernel/userspace linker ->
userspace decoder -> kernel/userspace linker -> kernel-driver (low
budget, DVB-Encoded)

I'm not a developer so (maybe) that's just a stupid idea.
