<br><br>You'll need a DVB-S2 card for HDTV/H.264 broadcast material when it<br>becomes available (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-S2" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-S2</a> for more<br>information.).<br><br>I picked up a Hauppauge Nova-S Plus for testing and recording of<br>free-to-air (FTA) available DVB-S material as the card is well<br>supported. The newer DVB-S2 API is still a work in progress, although
<br>some cards may work well with the latest V4L/kernel (see<br><a href="http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S2_Devices" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S2_Devices
</a>). I'm holding off<br>getting a DVB-S2 card until things are more stable and more FTA<br>material is available to make it worthwhile.<br><br>--<br>Nick Morrott<br><br>MythTV Official wiki:<br><a href="http://mythtv.org/wiki/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
