Help with media pc

[eladtan]

I want to buy a media pc and an LCD tv for my living room and I have a few questions
1) I see that most graphic cards have an DVI output and LCD tvs have HDMI input, are this the same? or do i need to find a card that has HDMI output? and in general what type of connection do you think is best for connecting a pc to a tv?
2)which TV tuner card would you recommend?

thx for your help

I do not have a TV tuner suggestion, but I can tell you this. DVI turns into HDMI with an adapter costs like three bucks. I think they must work the same technically, the only difference being the jack.
