Rather than a tuner card, you might want to try an HDHomeRun. <a href="http://www.silicondust.com/">http://www.silicondust.com/</a><br><br>It's a standalone box, with two tuners and a network port. It's fully supported by Myth (as long as you use the
0.20-fixes branch). Each tuner supports OTA or cable tuning. But, note that for cable tuning, it will only tune unencrypted channels, which is going to be true for any solution you come up with.<br><br>The nice thing is, because they're a standalone device, you avoid the whole kernel driver issue that you need to deal with when you're running a tuner card. I'm running two of them on my new Myth setup, for a total of 4 tuners, strictly doing OTA in my case, and I'm happy with them.
