Does it have to be a provider (ie. pay service)?  There are _PLENTY_ of FTA
MPEG-2/DVB signals available in North America that one can receive with a
DVB PCI card.

DirecTV is not MPEG-2/DVB compliant, so it cannot be received by a DVB card
anyway and DISH Network will not authorize anything but their own
receivers/cards.

I have lots of North America-specific information on my website DVBWAVE.COM
(http://dvbwave.com).

Hope this helps,

Mike.
