That's rather an expensive way of getting TV listings...  I'd really like 
to have a DVB-S card rather than using my STB, but AFAIK the Sky viewing 
cards aren't compatable with standard CAM modules, and also buying a 
satellite receiver card and CAM module starts to work out pretty expensive 
compared with using an STB and PVR card.
