DVB-S works fine in North America -- no problems whatsoever. If you want digital cable, you will need to go with a card that uses ATSC. I don't think VDR has a plugin working for it but I do know that MythTV does. Of course, that would only work with unscambled ATSC digital signals -- which many cable companies provide for their regular subscription channels.
