I think it is enough to look for the loopthrough connector. The older
tuners have the ability to loop the signal from the satellite to a
second external connector, which can be used for another card or
satellite receiver. I.E. :

Just an idea. If someone finds a new card with loopthrough, please
tell us, because than it won't work.
