Thanks for the answer - that's what I'm thinking of. I've been reading the
threads about "misusing" DVB-S cards (it feels like that thread more
discusses programming than how different card works so I continued on this
thread instead) and I'm now thinking of either a  Nexus-S (2.1 i
assume, is there any other revisions of the Nexus-S?) from dvbcanada.com,
or a DVB-S 1.6 from usa-x.org.

Is there any differences in those cards except for the J2 block (the RGB
output that I wants!)
Or should I go for the Nexus-S from dvbcanada - I think that at last two
persons on this list succesfully uses them without sat signal ...

Thanks for any answer ...
