The tuner card is in the computer. It's controlled through the drivers.
SGT:
I know that. But what I'm saying is that you don't want to have to manually set your sat receiver on the correct channel every time a recording is to take place. Apparently the software is able to automatically change the channel with the right hardware. I'm thinking its some kind of IR transmitter.

GBPVR Wiki: SkyStar2 Recorder
--- Quote ---This recorder plugin allows use of the Technisat SkyStar2 DVB-S card with GB-PVR. It will allow you to record and watch live TV (in timeshift mode only). No automatic transponder scanning is available yet, so channel tuning data must be entered manually.

Ahhh, thanks patrickl. Also found a tuner card that has an ir blaster built in, but its a little pricey:
