I think using a Win-TV Nova is the perfect choice. just rip off the
frontend, and connect the eight datalines (after the LVDS -> ttl conversion)
and the control  lines (frame start, data valid, clock).

then you can use the normal drivers.

i just saw a Win TV Nova clone for 79€ in a german store. Original Nova was
99€.

you should even be able to use a real DVB-S card, but then you can't stream
the complete TS to the PC. with the nova this should be no problem.
