DIsEQc PC cards (more info)
Both the Twinhan 1034 and the FloppyDTV-S2 support being motorised and they both have CI. Also the later SkySat card has an additional CI module but not sure if it supports motorised - check out a supplier like HiSat.
(I've got the first two, but only the FloppyDTV-S2 is installed, going to a 36V motor...

Hi, im looking into SAT cards for when i buy a parabolic next week.
I already have a T500 which will be in charge of DVB-T so no hybrid card is neccesary, i prefer a dedicated SAT card with good quality.

Today most capture cards are separate cards (since ATi's AIW). I'd recommend that you get a analogue TV-card with hardware encoding capabilities, as it saves CPU power and will work with MP without any "fiddling".
Typical cards are Hauppauge 150-series. For others, google or read the wiki.

Thanks guys, did do a search but must have missed the other threads. I have A DTV 1000, I might buy one of these cards and set the Leadtek card up as the analogue. Otherwise if I can get the analogue set up I guess I can drop the Leadtek into a different machine.

I believe there is now a card that supports "component" but it is not supported by MediaPortal. I've been looking at the "Compro VideoMate E800 PCI Express", but have not purchased it because I use TV2 and I'm worried that I'm going to struggle to get it to work with MediaPortal.
