I apologise in advance for my lack of knowledge regarding satellite DVB and Sky's implementation. I am reading and googling all the time, but I will admit to a degree of confusion.
Yes you can use a DVB-S card to receive all the FTA channels (BBC, shopping, god and not much else).
That's all you will ever receive. There is no CAM for Sky's Videoguard system - you will not be able to use a Sky subscription card with VDR.
Klaus' 'sky' plugin for VDR is based around taking the analogue output from a Digibox and encoding it to MPEG2 using a dedicated card.. the plugin mainly acts to run the remote control for the Digibox.
