Question Questions about DVB-S Cards and Sage

I am interested into adding a DVB setup to my Sage setup. I've got a fairly decent setup already as you can see from my signature, but I am always curious as to what else I can do. Plus, I just got access to a 1m motorized Linear&Circular Ku dish (Invacom LNB), so want to go after the FTA channels.

So, is there a good Sage compatible DVB-S PCI card or USB2 device out there that will allow you to do the following inside Sage:

1) Control a Diseqc 1.x compatible motor, i.e. if I pick channel x on satellite y, the card (or its software) tells the motor to go to that satellite? Can you setup multiple satellites using the software that comes with the card? Where are the motor pre-sets setup?
2) Allow for a blind scan of the satellites to pick-up new channels and wild feeds? Then add the newly found channels to the Sage EPG?
3) Pull the EPG data from the satellite and make it available in the Sage EPG as another source?
4) Able to access HD channels?

Is anyone doing this?

Thanks!
