    Ive been doing a lot of research on tv tuners and from what i understand for me to connect a "hard line" straight from my dish network satellite reciever to my laptop i will need a DVB-S type tuner not just a regular tv tuner. These seem like they are hard to find and all i could find was this http://www.sourcingmap.com/dvbs-digital-satellite-tuner-for-laptop-p-11570.html and this http://www.technisat.com/index04e9.html?nav=PC_products,en,76-227. I didnt really want a completely separate unit , do they make a DVB-S tuner in a usb "Stick" form or something that will go in my expresscard slot?

    Hi!
    Sorry to make a dead discussion alive after nearly a year, but this discussion is exactly what i want to know... DVB-S in a PCMCIA format, do they exist?
