Hi,
Hi, sorry for the late reply...
Can somebody point out at a resonably priced DVB-S (or DVB-S2) USB2.0 card to use with VDR?
I found this one: http://www.buydvb.net/tbs5922-usb-dvbs2-tv-box_p41.html
but it seems a bit expensive...
I don't have experience with usb dvb-s tuners but I can report good success with this dvb-s2 one using the (now) Linux 3.2 v4l/dvb tree under FreeBSD using webcamd:

Previously on Linux it needed the s2-liplianin tree but apparently since kernel 3.2 the pctv452e.c driver it uses has finally reached mainline.
I realize this one is not as cheap as you may be able to get an old dvb-s-only model, but for dvb-s2 it's a pretty good price I think, and the important thing is unlike some other usb tuners this one _works_ and isn't picky wrt the usb host or anything like that. :) (and the remote works too, and you can even use an universal remote with a pvr350 config using ir-keytable in case you need extra buttons for things like starting/stopping vdr-sxfe or xbmv-pvr, or for fullscreen toggle.)
HTH, Juergen
