Yes, there is a USB version here -

As you have ProgDVB, you will know it's a TV channel viewing application software. The Skystar is the necessary tuner hardware to receive those channels from your satellite dish.

I don't believe there's a Common Interface module available with that USB device to use a smart card to receive the encrypted Aljazeera channels. May be wrong though.

There is a CI version available, although I don't think Technisat produce them now. However, they seem to be still available from one of our sponsors -

I think you have got hold of the wrong end of the stick, this will not let you watch securely encrypted channels for free

You are in Australia - you cant watch the European satellites, so why are you getting excited about the Hotbird & Badr satellites??
