The "procedure" is to hit google with something like "linux " and see what you find. :-) Especially links to mailing list archives like linux-media and linux-dvb are worth a read. > Perhaps I shouldn't waste time if I could find a dual/twin tuner card for > dvb-s or dvb-s2.

Did you risk a look at any of those? http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S_PCI_Cards http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S_PCIe_Cards http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S2_PCI_Cards http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S2_PCIe_Cards I suspect they might contain some usable informaion. You should however take into account that most developers don't care to update a bazillion different places after they added support for a particular devices. So in most cases there will be a brief announcment on the developers mailinglist and the code is the documentation. cheers -henrik
