No HW decoding DVB-S2 card available up to now, just projects, planning and vapour ware ATM.
This for also no TV out on such a card yet.

Wonder if ever, 'cause the movie industry does not like free HD without safe DRM. A manufacturer might easily get into deep trouble, if he brings a card, that can be 'misused' same way like many DVB-S types.
This is about a future multi billion dollar business, that's at risk, if people can get around the system immanent limitations one way or the other, like free playing out in analogue, free copying, ignoring parental control and alike.
