No it will not, because modulation if different. So DVB-T card seeing DVB-C modulation is like me (and probably you) seeing Hebrew..
>From DVB wiki:
These distribution systems differ mainly in the modulation schemes used, due to the different technical constraints:
* DVB-S (SHF) uses QPSK;
* DVB-C (VHF/UHF) uses QAM (64-QAM in general);
* DVB-T (VHF/UHF) uses COFDM.
Best regards,
