[mythtv-users] Direct TV Question - Version 2

Sorry - let me re-ask the question again. 

I'm interested in trying to put together a good system with the mythtv 
program.  Right now in my house, though, I've only got a Direct TV hookup. 
 When I'm looking around, I have not been able to find a card that looks 
like it will take a Direct TV feed, though.  From what I can see of normal 
video cards, they all work off of analog cable feeds rather than a digital 
cable feed or a Direct TV feed.  Hopefully, though, it would be something 
that could also change channels, as well.  The thing that throws me is the 
fact I'm thinking I would have to put my Direct TV card (my subscriber 
one) into the PC card to make it work?

So my questions are:

- Is there a video card that will work directly off the satellite?
- If not, is there some way to get the PC/Mythtv program to drive the 
satellite box?

Thanks,
Tim
