Ah, okay looks like you want to go with sattelite.

Since that will be your "tuner" then you need something that will record a HD video signal. Most VIVO cards don't do that - so you will definitely need to do some shopping around a bit for a card that will.

As I mentioned, perhaps it is a stand-alone card (not a video card, but a PCI bus card that will record video signals).
