I don't think you should bother with a DVB-S card for unless you like to
tinker, cuss, and holler. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago the signal is
encrypted so you would have to get 3rd party stuff to decode it. This is
something that you could possibly get working one day after much effort
But not Dish or Direct TV, you can only view unencrypted satellite
broadcasts. While there is a lot of good stuff on those, he's a new
Dish subscriber so I'm betting he's under contract for at least the
next year.

I think it's a great idea but the part with the satellite may be a bit

any satellite tuner cards for the PC that will work with Dish or
Direct TV. If you were willing to switch to cable there are some
tuners that will work for
