[mythtv-users] Well supported, reliable PCI DVB-S card suggestions required

[Jelte Veldstra]

For me the two Hauppauge Nova S (aka budget, so not the plus variety)
adapters just worked. Is there a need to use a CAM? Then you'll need to find
one with a CI slot. I have also used a Twinhan 1030A (has a CI slot) with
success in combination with a CAM.

Regards,


Jelte
