The difference between dvb-s and s2 are big. A dvb-s pci card would not support s2. However what done in Israel on dvb-t was To take the same protocol and just replace the mpeg2 with h264. So it is possible that A regular dvb-t card will support the Israeli broadcasts. (Still need to verify)</p>
<p>> As for MythTV for DVB-T on linux, try searching the <a href="http://www.hometheater.co.il">www.hometheater.co.il</a> forums. I think there are people doing that there.<br>
