You forgot DVB-T.

Seriously i have a Dvico dual (original) which works fine with MP, besides a usb standby issue which pvr-scheduler sorted.

Hey Dexx, I live in Aus and I have 3 different TV cards working with MP.

1. Leadtek DVT-1000T costs around $50 - $60
2. Twinhan VP3020C - $60 (Old card newer model)
3. Dvico Fusion Dual 2 $150

All cards work fine. The leadtek is a little bit slower changing channels eg: 3-4 sec. All cards do HD as well.

Another brand to look at is digitalnow http://www.digitalnow.com.au/
I have a mate who has the usb and a pci version of their cards and works flawlessly.

PS. Make sure the cards is MCE supported (BDA drivers)
