[linux-dvb] Budget card recommendations?

[Martin Emrich <emme@emmes-world.de>]

Hi!

I plan to buy a budget DVB-S card, now I have to decide which one. It will be 
only used for recording TV, and maybe for a streaming server in the future. I 
have shortlisted the following cards:

FSC Activy
Terratec Cinergy 1200S
TechniSat SkyStar 2

What about the cards by KNC-1? Any good cards missing (even the budget cards 
from Hauppauge are too expensive, so I left them out).
I don't need any gimmicks like CI-Slots, Video Outputs, IR Receivers etc.

Are there any caveats with any of these cards (e.g. I heard rumors that the 
B2C2-Based cards are big performance hogs because of many interrupts,...)

Thanks

Martin
