Could someone enlighten me a bit about this stuff?  Are you telling me 
that I can plug this card straight into the coax cables coming from my 
Dish dish, and have access to the pure digital signals coming from the 
satellites?   What about encryption, etc?  I thought all of that sort of 
stuff was all smartcard protected.
