This latter one looks promising. I have to take out my Hauppauge DVB-c
card to see wether the connector is there, but I do remember seeing
something like it on the card.

Does anybody know if the s-video connector (the blue image) on the page
below is seen from the front or the back?

The "front" would be the outside and the "back" would be the inside where
I'd do the soldering.

Anyone tried this?
