[linux-dvb] What DVB-S-Card, some questions remain

[Benjamin Harling <benjamin.harling@web.de>]

Hi everybody,

after watching ths mailing-list for some time and after reviewing the
information on linuxtv.org etc. I am still wondering what actual dvb-s-card
ist useable. I mean which brand in terms of what's available on the market.

I understand the Hauppauge DVB-s has the Siemens-Fujitsu chip which has been
provided with documentation. This card is rather expensive and some
questions remain which I like to ask anyone of you:

1.) Is the card mentioned, one of those "moraly" right (because it has the
chips documentation was provided for?

2.) Is there a real Siemens-Fujitsu-card available?

3.) Are there alternatives? Like e.g. the Hauppauge WinTV Nova? I read that
Terratec-cards are being supported but I haven't seen one with DVB-s support
on the market. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So I'm a bit confused whether I just should go out and buy the WinTV DVB-s
or shop for a different, possibly cheaper card.

Any help is appreciated and excuse me if I missed some obvious and already
published information. Just point to it.

Thanks, Benjamin
