There are couple of DVB-S2 based cards and a few frontends too

The frontend chips that are available are

(1) STB0899 + STB6100
(2) Broadcom 4500
(3) Conexant

The cards that do have them are

(1) KNC1 - STB0899 + STB6100 + SAA7146 (PCI32, supports CI)

(2) Twinhan (VP-1041) - STB0899 + STB6100 + Mantis (PCI32, supports CI, 
newer variants will have MiniPCI, PCI-X (33MHz, 3v3 PCI card), PCIe 
interfaces)

(3) TT - STB0899 + STB6100 + SAA7146 (PCI32, not sure about CI support)

(4) Genpix 8PSK module - Broadcom 4500 (USB) Couldn't see any S2 
specifics in this one, so don't know whether it is S2 compliant

(5) Micronas - STB0899 + STB6100 + Micronas PCI Bridge (Dual DVB-S2, 
PCIe, no CI)


Only the genpix 8PSK module can be bought for now and they have a driver 
too (similar one to the dst module). The rest of the devices will be 
available soon in the market.

haven't heard much about the Conexant chip.

PS: The Linux DVB-S2 API itself is not yet ready. Work is in progress, 
Cards (1) and (3) will be the first supported cards, (2) and (5) needs 
some more work at the relevant PCI Bridge. Regarding (4) there are 
patches floating around.
