Is here any DVB-S cards (with MAC slot!) compatible with > FreeBSD? I understand, that chances are low, but may be? We are not aware of PCI based ones, but USB ones work (with 8.2 / 9-current). Have a look at http://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat (DVB section). With "MAC" are you referring to common access modules (CAM / PayTV)? If yes, there are some where the DVB-S(2) part should work, but none of them are tested regarding CAM and multimedia/webcamd has no support for this (you would have to talk/work with hps@ regarding this).
