at least PCI version of DViCO Fusion HDTV cards uses Conexant chip, so maybe big part of bktr driver can be reused, so i think there are three types of DVB-S/-C/-T PCI cards: 1) based on Conexant chip like cards from Twinhan and DViCO, because of the bktr driver, maybe it will be most likely to be supported 2) Technisat cards based on B2C2 Flexcop II chip, widely used, but no public datasheet for Flexcop chip and without datasheet most likely not to be supported 3) based on Philips SAA7146A, many, many cards from maybe all other manufacturers like Hauppauge, Technotrend, KNC1, Terratec, Fujitsu-Siemens and also very new DVB-S2 cards (DVB-S2 is used in Europe mainly for broadcasting HDTV in H.264) are based on Philips SAA7146A. so looks like 3), because so many cards are using Philips SAA7146A and 1), because of bktr driver, are most important.
