Satellite Tv tuner Card

[directvfreak]

Is there a manufacturer that makes a pc tv card that will work with directv? That's one thing I miss about cable.

Nope.

You can't hook up the Satellite feed to any PC card because the feed is encrypted. What you can do is feed the output of the STB to a TV capture card. On some Directv STB's you can change the channels via a serial cable from the PC. Here is a thread from a another forum dedicated to home theater PC's http://htpcnews.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1932

Get yourself a slingbox then watch TV from anywhere.
