I would suggest you hold off spending money on a DVB-S2 card right
now, until support gets more stable, prices drop, and -S2 HD channels
become available on Freesat.

Useful info on DVB devices can be found on the linuxtv.org DVB wiki.
See http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S2_Devices for DVB-S2
specifics. Some cards seem to work well - I guess it's a judgement
call as to whether it's worth it at the moment.

Does anyone have a link to a reference of FTA DVB-S2 channels?
