I'm currently working through this scenario with my system, and will
publish a FreeBSD-specific HOWTO when I'm done.

DVB-S requires specific hardware, none of which is supported under
FreeBSD.  How do you connect your PVR 250 to a satellite dish?

Yes, in principle I'm interested.  It would really help, though, if

I can't recall.  But all this stuff is very unreliable.

Details are always good.  At this stage I don't think I'd go chasing
it unless it still happens after I have the whole procedure
documented.
