I cannot answer that as good as someone from convergence could.

As far as I remember it, convergence got in touch with TechnoTrend
and TechnoTrend was unwilling to help - up to a degree where it might
be worth boycotting them. 

On the other hand Siemens was very friendly and generously supported
the open source development of the dvb-s linux driver.
Consequently, we ought to buy the original Siemens card whenever
possible. 

However, all the sources I mentioned are not Siemens either, but Hauppauge. :-(
