Of the three DVB-S cards I have (don't ask, long story), the TechniSat
Skystar 2 was the best of the bunch. I believe that's what most people
are ordering..

(The other two were a couple of TechnoTrend budget cards. They worked,
just the Skystar 2 seemed much better at coping with the tuner open all
the time, the TT cards appeared to be more sensitive to heat issues..
Also, Skystar 2 has a hardware PID filter, but is still a budget card,
which is a nice option. Less PCI traffic is good.)
