The Twinhan card seems to be cheaper: Twinhan VisionPlus VP-1030A DVB-S
I'm using a few Twinhan cards (without CI) with great success, but I've
not tested any DVB-S CI cards from Twinhan. (I've tried to use the
Twinhan DVB-T CI card to no avail)

You can find one or two resellers in sweden via www.prisjakt.se and
www.kelkoo.se.
But why doesn't anyone write a userland descrambler that can be used
with *any* budget card? Today I use DVBprog under WinXP to watch
scrambled programs that I record with my Linux Twinhan cards.
I've heard that VDR have some plugins that can do the same.
