Hi,

I've asked this question once, a long time ago, so I owe it to the list to 
answer it once also :-)

Answer is no, sorry :( While for analogue it doesn't usually matter if the 
signal comes from an antenna or out of the wall, for DVB you need different 
tuners. (Signal is on different frequencies, and modulated differently). The 
so called "frontend" of the cards is either DVB-T, DVB-C or DVB-S.
 
You can of course use a DVB-C card (full featured) as your output device, 
using the mpeg decoder and tv-out.
