I'm only familiar with the hauppauge cards, and I'm looking at getting the PVR-500, since it appears that most of the quality issues have been addressed with driver fixes (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I looking into the nVidia Dual TV card, but they stopped making it since analogue is dead (so they think).

Analog broadcasts are scheduled to end on Feb. 17, 2009, here in the USA. You won't find much use for those analog cards, afterwards.
The date has been pushed back several times, but I wouldn't count on that happening again.

that rule only applies to OTA signals... I don't believe Cable Companies are under the same date restriction.
No, but I understand that analog channels take up more bandwith than digital. By getting rid of analog channels, they can offer a lot more channels.
I don't understand the resistance to digital TV. The picture is so sharp, it makes analog look like puke. The future is in digital TV, switching to it now won't even make you an "early adopter". It's been around for quite awhile, now.

I think we all agree that DTV is the best option, but many people can't currently get digital channels for things like Food Network, ESPN, etc, without using a crappy set top box...
In my opinion, the Hauppauge 500 or dual 150s seems to be the best solution if you want two tuners. Please note, that I've only ever used hauppauge cards.

Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...
