WinTV Nexus-s DVB satellite PCI-card any good in the USA ?

Archived from groups: alt.video.satellite.mpeg-dvb (More info?)

Is anyone using this satellite card for DVB - FTA reception in the US ?
Can it receive and decode 4.2.0 , 4.2.2 , HDTV ? Will it do Blind Search?
It's made by Hauppauge in the UK.
The lowest price I've seen is approx. $168 US from LA, PageComputers.Com.

Thanks!

Jon

Thanks, Kryppy, I'll look into the Pansat 2500 then.
Still, I wanted to use my computer as a video recorder.
I'll check Ebay for one of those $10 cards as well.
