So these cards have the IRD functionality in them already - ie, I 
just hang a LNB in a dish on it and then access it with the linux 
DVB-API?  And I can pull raw transport streams off that?

If that's true, and that is exciting, then what do folks int he 
US use?  Ie, what is reasonably available here and, what is best 
supported yet?  I'd rather not fight driver issues - I just want 
clean and relatively easy access to the raw transport streams.

Thanks,

Greg
