I would like to connect my satellite dish to my laptop. Can anybody recommend a USB DVB-S receiver that works well with Ubuntu?

If found that the following devices are reported as working with VDR. This usually means that they will work with other software as well:
- Hauppauge DEC 3000-s
- Hauppauge Nova USB
- Technotrend PC-Line USB
- Kathrein UFP 500
- Pinnacle PCTV 400e
- Pinnacle PCTV 450e
- Sundtek SkyTV Ultimate DVB-S/S2
I don't know, unfortunately, if you can still buy any of them. My tip is to just try one. Buy one locally and return it if it doesn't work. Generally speaking, many will work.
