[ale] DVB-s HD and Linux

[James Sumners]

How about this http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S_devices ?

I've never heard of getting local programming via satellite before. Do
you just aim a dish at a certain location and you magically get local
programming? If so, I might want to consider it as an option. I've
been looking at buying a Channel Master CM4228 antenna so I can get HD
over-the-air (OTA). In that situation, I plan on buying the card you
mention to put in a PVR.

I'm interested to know what you come up with and how well it works.
