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.

Cheers,
Gavin.
