I'm not going to get too explanitory with this since this it's fairly 
       fringe/guru level hacking and I'm a believer in the user figuring out for 
       themselves.  I provide the background or research material, and you as the u
       do with it what you will.
       
       There's actually nothing overly far out about DVB-S stuff, but there is simp
       more of a barrier to getting involved becuase it involves more effort than j
       banging away at a computer or lab bench.  There is an investment involved fo
       dish(es), receivers, tuners, and then there's the physical installation of t
       dish, coax, etc..  Another thing is all the terminology and general scientif
       understanding of what's going on.  You don't just throw this together and 
       expect it to work.
       
       When you finally get setup and understand what you're doing, there is a huge
       world here to explore and lots of neat stuff to be seen and do.  Due to the 
       captial and labor involved with getting setup, I suppose some folks felt tha
       "security through obscurity mantra" was sufficient to keep people out, rooki
       mistake!
