I'm interested in DVB-S in the US as well but can't find any of the cards people have recommended for sale in the US and overseas shipping is $$$.

Satellite Card?
Yeah, but can't I just get a regular T.V. Card, or does it HAVE TO be a Satellite Card?

If you are willing to sacrifice quality, then STB -> analogue TV-card (pref. HW-based) is an option. You do "need" MCE-remote w/blasters (or eq.) to change channel (and of course a STB).
If you know you can get it to work, you should, however, consider getting a DVB-S card.

Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

I also have never used a set-top box with MP, but I think that you need to use an IR emitter (aka "IR blaster"). The IRSS software controls the emitter, and transmits IR signals under the direction of MP. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver within the set-top box, and so can be used to change channel and so on. The set-top...

I'm downsizing my big honkin' HTPC case to a mini PC, which means the tried and true Hauppauge Colossus card that bridges the set top box into Mediaportal needs replaced with a different solution.
