FTA satellite signal = Free-To-Air Satellite signal. It means, you can watch the channel/programs for free.
Analog won't capture digital signal. But some of digital tuner/decoder can capture analog. Usually analog signal are works in different bands than digital.

What are some top tv tuner cards?
Don't know. I bought decoder for watch satellite programs.
Hmmm... ok. I'm actually building a media centre to work alongside my grandfather's FTA setup, so I'll be running the signal from the reciever to the Media Centre, then to the TV.
Are there any tv tuner cards that are also recievers or no?
hi.
the best tv card are coming from
hauppauge but do not hesitate to buy a pinnacle or technotrend card.
i use technotrend tvcard dvb-s for watching sat tv in my pc,
and if you want u can buy the ci intreface to plug a cam
for watching encrypted sat programs.
I know someone who's selling that tuner card, which is the same WinTv-PVR-150 (i think), would that one function as a FTA reciever? It doesnt appear to mention it doing so in the description.
If not, anyone have any recommendations for FTA digital tuner cards?
hi.
all dvb-s card are fta cards.
but if you want to watch encryptet channels then you need a more specific card that can be connectet to ci interface.
most brands have some cards that can be connectet to ci interface.

Hauppauge WinTV Nova-CI-S
Hauppauge WinTV Nova-SE
Hauppauge WinTV Nexus-S
