OK Thansks. I am interested in a DVB-S2 card able to tune to 45000kSps
rate with CI support (yes my provider here did things so that it is hard
to get rid of their STB :( )
The only one for now are the cards based upon stv0900 like the mystique
satix, but I am not sure about the driver supporting CI.
