I use a Traxis DBS 3500 for blind scanning dvb-S, it is very fast. I use TechnoTrend DVB-S2 pci cards in my HTPC for watching most stuff. I have both C and Ku dishes so I can always find something interesting. The PC is able to decode mpeg2 and newer H.264 feeds that have been showing up more and more lately. I would recommend that anyone interested in this hobby get a DVB-S2 receiver. The feeds at 123 degrees sometimes are harder to get due to severe weather in Arkansas where they are uplinked. Gary from the network that uplinks the channels and who also has a show on many of the channels at night, sometimes posts at satelliteguys.us website. I would recommend a minimum Ku dish size of 90cm. and for C-band a 10 ft. is a good starting point although there are some feeds you can get on a smaller sized dish.
