Currently known DVB-S2 Devices
| KNC1 1 | STB0899 + STB6100 + SAA7146 (PCI32, supports CI) |
| Twinhan (VP-1041) 2 | STB0899 + STB6100 + Mantis |
| TechnoTrend S2-3200 3 | STB0899 + STB6100 + SAA7146 (PCI32, supports CI) |
| TechniSat SkyStar HD 3 | identical with TechnoTrend S2-3200 |
| Genpix 8PSK module 4 | Broadcom 4500 (USB) Couldn't see any S2 specifics in this one, so don't know whether it is S2 compliant |
| Micronas 5 | STB0899 + STB6100 + Micronas PCI Bridge (Dual DVB-S2, PCIe, no CI) |
| Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000 6 | CX24116 + CX24118A + Conexant Cx2388x PCI Bridge (Various modules with/without a DVB-T demod) |
Only the genpix 8PSK module can be bought for now and they have a driver too (similar one to the dst module). The rest of the devices will be available soon in the market.
PS: The Linux DVB-S2 API itself is not yet ready. Work is in progress, Cards 1, 3 and 6 will be the first supported cards, 2 and 5 needs some more work at the relevant PCI Bridge. Regarding 4 there are patches floating around.
