BBC HD is broadcast in the clear on Astra 2D (28.2E) at 10.847Ghz V
22000SR 5/6FEC, I'm pretty sure it is still broadcast as DVB-S (rather
then DVB-S2 like the Sky HD channels) so a normal DVB-S card and a dish
set up for Sky Digital should do the job.
I'll warn you that a lot of processing power is required to decode the
H264 profile in real time. When the BBC were doing the HD DVB-T trials
across London I had a go at trying to pick it up, and found that my 3Ghz
P4 machine could only managed about 14 fps.
I have heard a rumour that Freesat is will be launching around 5th May,
so it might be worth waiting a few weeks just incase anything changes.
