I've considered a number of satellite cards to offer myPVR customers and
based on the feedback on both MythTV and DVB mailing lists I went SkyStar=
2
as they work.

My preference would be a HVR 3000 or 4000 card becauase of the additional
analogue + DVB-T support, but the drivers just aren't stable enough yet
for "Real World Use".
