Then the bandwidth requirements will be whatever that card outputs. 
Is that an analogue capture card ? If so, can you configure it's 
capture/compression settings to tune the data rate ? You'll need 
whatever it puts out plus a bit for overheads.

Neither of those make any difference. Live TV is only a particular 
case of "record and watch while recording". Programs are streamed in 
real-time to your frontend so it doesn't really matter if they are 5 
minutes or 5 hours.
