I have been looking for info on this subject on many forums.
The thing is all providers here use smartcards for DVB-T signals and I want to watch tv on my PC.

The guides give great info on the subject but I can't find anything on the use of smartcards with interface cards.

The only thing I could come up with that you should get a dual tuner and connect its 'loop out' to a PC card.
Does anyone know if this will work?
And the signal coming from the loop out, can it be split with a split cable or wil this go wrong?

There are DVB-T receivers intended for use in a PC with a smartcard reader. See this review as an example:
