[linux-dvb] Re: Recommended DVB-T card for UK use please

["Edward Wildgoose" <ed@wildgooses.com>]

I came across this technotrends card which seems to be a "full" DVB-T card?
The links are suggestive that it might be the same thing as a Haupage Nexus
DVB-S card?  Does this mean that I can simply get a DVB-S card instead and
plug it into a coax cable running to a roof top antenna....?!  (Surely it
needs a different tuner, however, the cards look physically very similar)

Sorry for the very basic questions.  Any help appreciated
