I found the Pinnacle PCTV 800i PCI QAM/ATSC (and software analog) tuner
on sale at woot.com for $25. I picked up one and then later two more.
They have performed very well for me. I have my cable split 8 ways upon
entering my house and the tuners handle that pretty well. I do have a
few dropouts and such, but they go away if I run the line straight into
a single tuner. I have been quite happy with them.
Cheers,
James
