Is it viable to use both a DVB-S and DVB-T card in one HTPC?

Hi there,

I have a home-theatre PC running Windows Vista Home Premium (with Vista Media Centre). I currently use a dual-tuner DVB-T PCI-E card to receive freeview (which works very well). My question is: can I add a PCI DVB-S card so I can also receive unencrypted sat channels? (the previous owner of the house kindly left the Sky dish on the wall so all I need is the DVB-S card to start receiving sat broadcasts). Will Vista Media Centre allow me to seamlessly skip between DVB-T and DVB-S broadcasts?

Many thanks,
Jack
