I do not see an RF output on the standard Yes receiver, so their description of "scan for the right program" seems, to me, to be false. Having said that, I am very doubtful that your TV card does not have a video in port, if not an actual s-video port. Any of those will work, and will actually give you better quality than the RF option mentioned above.
Mine have an RF port on them, they are at almost 4 years old. They are obviously NOT HDTV, but they do support 16:9 programs and TVs.
Personally, I use an s-video port for the receiver, and will be getting the blaster working as soon as I get around to it (which will allow myth-tv to switch channels automatically, I hope).
The YES remote control codes are available for LIRC, and you can build a transmitter from an IR LED, a resistor and an old serial cable. Worked fine for me. I bought mine at Kasyahoff in Jersualem, someone else on this list bought theirs in Ramat Gan.
