Hi Robert,

Thanks for your response. That's what I'd thought - I've just found this
thread too though: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/346369

I know this question seems to be answered in that thread - but I'd just like
to make sure - if I was to buy a WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 would the DVB-S part of it
work anyway without having to path for S2? I'd like to get a DVB-S2 card to
future proof my system, but I don't really want to have to use experimental
support. Would a DVB-S2 card allow me to just use a stable DVB-S until
DVB-S2 becomes more supported?

Thanks,

Jonny
