similar) card still necessary?

And from what I understand, two LNCs are required to record FreeView
DBV-S signals from TVNZ and CanWest simultaneously because they operate
on two different transponder frequencies. If this is the case will a
DiSEqC 1.1 switch work with the SkyStar 2 or would separate cable have
to be run for each LNC?
Analogue terrestrial capture is starting to look a whole lot better
again... less than perfect reception considered.
