I have Hauppage DVB-T card without cardreader. I want to watch encrypted channels/pay-tv (I got free card with one month perioid..).
Can I buy some external card reader (eg. SCM SCR3310) and plug pay-tv card to it, and connect card reader to pc (via usb). USB or COM reader is mandatory because I have no free other expansion slots. Maybe I can also buy new tv-card (pci or usb) if needed. And, I am updating my portal to RC2 soon if it helps..
Do I need some drivers/plug-ins ?
Can anyone help me?


Thanks beforehand..
