This one seems to best meet your needs. I'd be careful with version #. Some of the early 650's had a hardware glitch that caused ATI to pull them back. I think they've been re-issued, but not certain. If the price seems to good to be true, it probably is (for this reason).

I'd stay away from USB; they tend to cause a system bottleneck.

I don't see where it says thats a dual tuner card. I have the 550 pro card and it has one for cable and one for FM, but if that really is a dual tuner atsc card its a great deal.

Yep, you're right. My bad. Problem is getting the HD plus dual tuners. I use the Saber2020, which reviews say have a better picture than the 500 or the Theater 650, but no OTA HD. This one has all the features, but is only available in Europe and Austalia:

Bump.
