[mythtvnz] DVB-S PCI card availability

[David Lowe]

Just to pick up on the original post.. why are DVB-S cards becoming hard to
get? Is it because of the shift to DVB-T & HD? I was going to build a second
system for a family member - no Sky, no HD available, just Freeview (which
IMHO is becoming quite good with lost of interesting things on the new
channels).

So all I need is a couple of SkyStars or Technotrend thingees. Are any
second-hand ones on the list available?
