I use the HVR3000&4000 for DVB-S.  The V4L DVB driver  needs to be 
patched to get them to go.  If you are able to receive DVB-T but are 
waiting for it to settle, these  are a good choice, plus the  3000 
compares very favourably  price wise with the technisat for what you 
get.   If you just want DVB-S then an older Technisat is the best choice.
