Hi Clint,
Welcome to the forums.

I have the same card and can tell you that it works very well for Digital TV.
If you plan on using Analog, I am not sure, since I don't use that side.
I can also tell you that you don't need to buy the software if you are using MP, since MediaPortal becomes the software. You're MCE Remote and Keyboard will work with it too.

It is a PCI Express card, but it's only a x1 slot that is required. Your gfx card should be in a bigger x16 slot. If you look at your board there should be at least two smaller x1 slots there.

I also can't comment on FM radio with this card, sorry.

I also don't know how the card works with MP built in TV system, since I (and lots of others) use the new TV server. I recommend you use that too, since it seems to work much better (programs will record even if MP is closed, etc).

Hope this helps,
Marcus.
