Hello, I have a few questions before I buy a DVB-S card. I'm also wondering if there are others out there using DVB-S in the US. I'm a new subscriber to Dish Network in the U.S. and currently have the 311 receiver and the oblong 36" x 20" "SuperDish"[1] because I subscribe to French-language channels. Intially, I'd just like to use the DVB-S to get FTA channels and to learn more about DVB-S, but eventually, I'd also like to get my subscription channels on my PC as well (if possible/legal?). For that reason, I'd like to get a DVB-S card with a CI module. >From perusing the Wiki it seems I have two main choices for the budget cards: Hauppage and TwinHan. I'm leaning towards a TwinHan because they're easier and cheaper to find in the U.S. From the mailing list, I've noticed that there are problems with the latest TwinHan cards so I'm wondering what the latest, yet fully supported TwinHan card is (and has a CI module.) Or if the problems with the latest cards are minor, maybe I can help fix them. I have plenty of kernel experience, but not much DVB knowlege. Or are there reasons I should get a Hauppauge? I can't seem to find anyplace in the U.S. that sells a Hauppauge card w/CI module (the NOVA-CI.) Any pointers to resources for getting my Dish subscription channels would be appreciated as well. Thanks for any advice, Kevin [1] http://www.radioshack.com/sm-dish-network-superdish-105-satellite-dish--pi-2104273.html
