Hi Alexander

I use a cx88 based DVB-S tuner (K-World DVB-S 100), which works pretty
nicely picking up FTA channels. I only have tried it on Linux, but there
is a WIP driver for FreeBSD I keep meaning to try[1]. Another option is
a dreambox, which presents a nice server to fetch TS from :)

Cheers

Tom
