I'm looking for a satellite tv tuner card that will eliminate the need for an outside satellite set box. Anyone know of a card that allows me to insert the smart card directly into the pci card? I dont know if one of these pci cards exist, but i'm looking for something that works along the lines of what i've explained. I know i've read a review of a card like this somewhere, but i can't remember, nor find it, anymore. Anyone know of a card that does this? Or am i stuck with using a satellite box? I dont have a tv tuner in my comp yet, but i will soon.
 
As far as I know they don't exist.... thier are regular tv tuner cards, but never heard of this. Probably because of they way most satelite networks work, a lot of the systems are propietary.

Good luck in your hunt though.

worst comes to worst, get a UHF remote for your set top box so you can change the channel from anywhere.

Thats the only one I have come across when tinkering in that area. Digital satellite only, so not sure if it's any use to you.
