I have a PCIe compro card http://www.comprousa.com/en/home.html

Works well for me

not sure what signal you guys have in the states but dual hybrid tuners are good for Oz

One point to look out for is vista compatability... I had heaps of problems with this

I also use a couple compro cards... doesn't have very refined software but the card and its packaged software have never let me down.

Hauppauge TV tuner cards is one of the best you can get. I have a HVR-1600 and I'm very happy with it. The PCI-E equivalent would be the HVR-1800
