HDWonders.  The Hauppauge 1609 seems like a pretty attractive option to get
4 tuners in 1 PCIE slot for $89 on Amazon.  Does anybody have that working
with MythTV, is it a headache to get up and going?

Have you considered network tuners?  I recently added a used HDHomerun
to complement an existing HDHomerun and a Ceton for my production
system.  Consequently, I no longer care how many PCI or PCIe slots I
have!

+1 on the HD home run units I have 4 of them 2 over the air and 2 prime
units, I'd rather not be tied down to a internal card and they work great,
allows my back-end to be virtual etc,  opens a lot of possibilities.
