The DVB-S2 standard does not only allow the transmission of 188 byte TS-streams, it is also possible to transmit Generic Streams (GS) within those DVB-S2 Baseband Frames.
The sizes of those BBFrames seem to vary.
The GS makes use of the GSE protocol which itself will transmit other protocols like IPv4, IPv6.
However in practise there are some feeds around using GSE with regular TS.
One of these is Sky TG24 on Eutelsat 5W 11448 H 1703 5/6
Only some hardware as the Dektec 2137 is able to record these BBFrames correctly.
Thanks to a friend who helped me with his really professional equipment we were able to record that stream in the BBFrame format. The card puts a 10 bytes long L3 header in front of each BBFrame:

So far I was able to decode BBframes and also GSE but there's still a unknown protocol between GSE and TS. I get "some" TS out of it but it is very corrupted.
If anyone wants to give it a try, here is the recorded stream:
