They cost 80 Eur. If you want to decode encrypted channels, add 100-200 
Eur. But it's technically definitely the way to go. You don't need to 
reverse engineer any priprietary protocols, you can add several cards at 
once, you have a far better quality, you need less CPU resources, 
because you can store the MPEG stream directly from the satelite. With 
your terminal, the terminal would decode it, send it over an analog 
cable, your computer would encode it, later decode it and send it via an 
analog cable again.
