[ubuntu-mythtv] capure cards and related questions

[Peter Nauta]

Hi Haken,

I have a similar question, and an answer to your question:

I have a FloppyDTV card which does work fine on DVB-T.  It has a card
interface so it even works with Digitenne's encryption here in NL.
Problem is that these cards are not made anymore, so you need to find
one on ebay or the like.

I would like to switch to DVB-S2, so when I'm successfull, my card is
available :-)

My question: can anyone recommend a DVB-S2 card, which has a card
interface and works with Canal Digitaal here in Europe?  I have
Mythbuntu 9.10 but of course I can upgrade if support for some card
has been built into a later kernel version.

Regards,

Peter
