Why are Dual DVB-S cards so hard to find?

[siliconaudio]

Black gold always seems to be out of stock on their 6-in-1 cards (which will do dual DVB-S), and everything else seems to have gone out of production.

Can anyone recommend a card I can buy in New Zealand or get sent to New Zealand? I prefer PCIe but PCI will do.

Anyone?

I dont think many manufacturers make dual DVB-S cards. You can get single DVB-S tuner device here in NZ though (like Hauppauge Nova-S2 or HVR-3000).

The ebay link in his post gives lots of info about the card... dual DVB-T + dual DVB-s, nice.

I got one from that auction - worked fine for a month but now it seems to have gone partially deaf on the DVB-T side of things. DVB-S still fine.

I can't find one of these anywhere. I've checked eBay and just googled in general - drawing blanks everywhere. It would seem anything dual DVB-S has gone extinct.
