Hi blogra,
I ended up going with 2 x Leadtek DTV1000S cards. What a fantastic little card for less than $40 each. You can read my progress so far here.

I live in the Boston area and I have the digital cable box. I receive HDTV and I use a set-top box right now.... So what is the best tuner card for my situation?... I am a newb in the HTPC scene so if there's a detailed guide on how to set this up, I would love to see it. Thanks for the help so far.

I agree.
However, there are two things that surprises me:
1. The former model was based on 690G, and was a huge success. Why did they not choose a 780G based mobo? See: Nvidia's GeForce 8300 chipset - The Tech Report - Page 13
2. When first choosing a nVidia IGP, why not 8300? (Only difference is higher corespeed I think , so does...

As mentioned above here, unless you're not looking to upgrade the board in your main computer, it would be wiser to buy a cheaper card like Nvidia 8500/8600GT or AMD 3450/3650 (or the upcomming equalents in the 4xxx series).

One problem.... the TV is NOISY. Noticeable annoying static...
