Steven,

I've used the Fusion HDTV Gold PCI card with Myth, but I can't say it
has the most sensitive tuner I've ever seen.

If I were picking something up today, I'd go for the "HD Home Run" box
from http://www.silicondust.com/ It's got dual tuners in it's own wee
box with ethernet out, so it will work with Myth, and VideoLAN, and
mplayer, and ...

Best,

John
