Especially considering OP's quest Just a quick note: Manu is right at least here in the French Caribbean Islands where, under the pretext of streaming more HD channels, CanalSat Caraibes (which is strongly affiliated with Canal+ France) is broadcasting DVB-S2 QPSK 45 MSPS. People are really upset about it because it basically boils down to lock everybody into renting their decoder. So yes, some people (read me ;-) desperately needs DVB-S2 HW supporting high SPS rates (plus I need CI also). For now I dont see this rare bird! If someone knows one with good linux driver...
