Thanks everyone. This is really helpful info.
I'd like to go DVB-S2 for future compatibility as I don't want to junk the tuners and get new ones if the BBC or ITV decide to go to DVB-S2. It looks like the Technotrend S3600 is the best option at the moment.
My main concern is having two of these USB and whether I will get any trouble with this??
Mike.

I've been looking for the same thing for a while, and haven't found
anything. I was planning on buying the Technotrend S-1500 (PCI card)
which appears to be fairly well supported.
I think someone else has said it, but all freesat broadcasts are currently
DVB-S only. I can currently get BBCHD and ITVHD using the DVB-S part of
my HVR-3000 (Analog + DVB-T + DVB-S hybrid card)
I think that DVB-S2 support in Linux is still fairly new, and not
officially supported by (m)any apps (VDR or MythTv)
