Just a quick question, with this is it possible to watch and record HD freesat at the same time or will that require two of these cards? thanks!
 
Not familiar with that card myself, but from the first Google review (http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/media-players/2010/09/04/compro-videomate-s800f-review/1) it appears not.

The card has dual tuners, but only one is a DVB-S with the other being DVB-T/Analog. This means you can watch Freesat and record Freeview, or watch ITV on Analog (if it's still on in your area at the moment) and record Freesat, but you cannot watch & record 2 x Freesat channels (or 2 Freeview channels at once).

Also, you will need to check this, but I think most Freesat HD stuff is on DVB-S2, not DVB-S, so you might need to find a tuner that handles DVB-S2 to get Freesat HD anyway.
