I'm not sure if it would work with the included DVB drivers, didn't try that. Did you get the firmware update for the Mediaguard module that was released a while ago? AFAIK it is still available on Astra. I've only tested the module on Windows with the original firmware, and that was totally horrible. It works much better (but still not good enough for watching) after the update. On Windows, that is, but I assume linux also works better with it after the update.
