So, with a live feed, what the OP wants to do should be possible.

(Cannot try myself, as I only have official subscribed VM equipment)
CNBC is clear too I think.

It hardly seems worthwhile though to go to the trouble of using a DVB-C PC Card, I can sort of understand people using their STB output to connect to a PC to record stuff but as has been pointed out virtually everything of interest is securely encrypted.

Each to their own though.
