Default Do Key rolls affect dvb-c cards?

As the title asks;

seeing as last night was a major clusterf*ck for many of us cable box owners.
Only last week i ordered a TT C1501 card from dvbshop for my new bedroom htpc build.
But i've not noticed any threads from dvb-c card owners saying that they lost their channels too.
Is this right? Or does the software that most card users run (progdvb, dvbviewer) not suffer from the same fate that the boxes do?

Would appreciate any input on this as i'd hate to have wasted the money on this card when its gonna keep screwing me up.
Conversely if the card NEVER suffers as the boxes do, then its encourages me to build an htpc for the living room and do away with the eurovox.

Thanks for any advice offered.

yes they do change the keys, but inputting keys manually is very easy on the cards

Thanks insaan. I am surprised that no threads have popped up from card owners relating to the key changes yesterday. Unless i missed them.
