Well, that is an interesting idea.  Actually, I included the information on
the antenna thinking I had plenty of signal so I am thinking I don't need a
very sensative card.  

On the other point, I want to know if I can run mythtv and handle things
like a 1080i transmission going to my 720p projector along with the other
things the PC would need to so, like record one show while watching another.

So, what I was looking for was advice on picking a tuner card.
