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.
