Hi Mikhail,

I have a Skystar2 that works fine with Hardy x64  (2.6.24-19-generic)
and MythTV.

It's DVB-S. BBCHD is transmitted on DVB-S and not DVB-S2 as you'd expect
so it's a reasonable choice. The drivers FOR DVB-S2 are more bleeding
edge at the moment.

I picked up mine on eBay - it's hard to get the cards and have them
shipped here from the usual suspects.
