The MediaPortal (as currently offered on ebay, see
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1342308173) IMO is quite a bargain.
For about the price of a single DVB-S card alone you get a complete system including
the DVB-S card _with_ the CAM interface plus a DVD drive. So even if you decide not to
use the MP hardware, you still have gotten a DVB-S card at almost no extra costs.
And if you already have a DVB-S card, you can install that one into the MP to get
a dual DVB card system (which, I guess, is what everybody wants, anyway, since it brings up
the big advantages of VDR like time shifting etc).
Just my two cents. Oh, and BTW: I am of course in no way affiliated with the
people who sell the MP.
