As far as I know they're pretty much tied into the Sky Digibox. My dad has a 3rd party satelite setup and isn't able to get Sky. He is however able to get French, German, Italian and Chinese channels! A DVB-T (Freeview) card would be good for picking up Freeview. Of if you want something for the likes of MythTV then I've heard the Hauppage WinPVR 150 and 350 cards are pretty good. The 350 even has TV out which you can configure for displaying X!
