DVB-S PCIe cards?

With 0.22 out, I'm thinking of setting up a new backend and when it's
working switch over to it, rather than take down the currently
indispensable system (WAF!!). It's currently Athlon64 X2 with MythDora 5
so it needs an overhaul anyway.

I've currently got 2 SkyStars and a PVR-350 all connected via PCI.

Any new machine I put together is likely to only have 2 PCI slots, so if
I can get hold of a PCIe DVB-S card, then it's only 1 card I need to
replace to have a similar system. Keep my old drives, case, PSU, etc
and it's not too big of an upgrade.

So, what PCIe cards are people using for DVB-S at the moment?

I don't think there are any commonly available PCI-express DVB-S cards
unfortunately.

There are currently no supported cards.

the only PCIe card which works is a DVB-T (not DVB-S) Card such as the
HVR-2200 which actually works..

You might need to get some USB DVB-S devices..

Hmmm. That's not good.

How about PCIe equivalents to the PVR-150/350? (ignoring s-video out)

The HVR-2200 has analog inputs & integrated MPEG2 hardware encoders,
but the drivers for the analog portion of the card are still under
development.
