Sorry about the quoting.
I'm not sure weather its DVB-S or DVB-S2 - But its Viasat and CanalDigital)

Is there anywhere you can send some links about the different format ( 
I've never played with this part before ) Since I took a dreambox as the 
external tuner - and made that work - But getting tired of having this 
extra - When I'm able to get this to work with an PCI card instead - and 
would like to give it a try.

I got several people in Denmark that interested in MythTV but most of 
these people - live outside the city's and only available TV is using 
the satelite! So If I can make this work properly - I'll be able to show 
it to them, and perhaps getting more people interested into Linux/MythTV.

But first of all would like to make it work on my own system in first 
case - and needing to know/read more about the DVB-S and formats etc!
