The terratec cinnergy card is meant to be very good, dual digital freeview tuners on a pci-e interface.

Which OS will you be using? Windows MCE or MythTV? WMCE supports more cards such as the terratec above. It also looks very nice. But Myth, while supporting fewer cards (prob not the terratec) has more functionality.

So a choice of card depends on what OS you're using.

Silverstone LC20s (Silver) or LC20b (Black) and a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T-500
