I came across this technotrends card which seems to be a "full" DVB-T card? The links are suggestive that it might be the same thing as a Haupage Nexus DVB-S card? Does this mean that I can simply get a DVB-S card instead and plug it into a coax cable running to a roof top antenna....?! (Surely it needs a different tuner, however, the cards look physically very similar)
