You would need an real DVB card/receiver as the source anyway (unless you have cable access).
I use a SkyStar2 (PAL/SECAM) for my HDTV stuff (receive/record).
It is approx. €55/60 and comes with an Remote in this newest revision.

I also can use my Hauppauge WinTV DVB-S (hardware mpeg on board) after disabling the MPEG Decoder...
