Is anyone out there using either of these cards? Specifically under Linux?
Both look to be supported, with the TBS having better vendor support.
Any other dual DVB-S2 low profile PCIe tuners worth considering?

KiwiTim: I can't say I'm pleased with the Tevii S480. I've had it about 8 months and have consistantly had problems with DiSEqC 1.0 switching. I also have Hauppauge tuners on the same system and they work fine with my DiSEqC 1.0 switches.
Also one tuner on the S480 cannot access vertical pol channels and is unable to tune some HD channels.
The 2nd tuner on the S480 can tune both V and H pol channels and all of my HD channels, but cannot tune any channels using DiSEqC 1.0 (other than tuning to the first option on the switch).
When I attempt dual recording of 2 HD channels, one recording will have so many tears and artifacts that it is unwatchable.
Essentially, the S480 is working as a single DVB-S2 tuner that cannot switch. I kind of feel ripped off.
Have tried new drivers and yes, I have the power cord attached to the card.
Next time round I'll be trying a TBS.
Tim
PS: I'm using W7 Ultimate 32Bit and DVBViewer 4.9
