The Hauppauge 150 is quite popular as a single tuner card, or the 500 as a
dual tuner. The ATI HDTV was the original HD tuner card, but Media Center
only supports over-the-air HD, not cable HD.
If your TV can use VGA, that's a good choice. Otherwise DVI or HDMI, with
sVideo and composite only as last resorts.
What will you use as a graphics card? I'm using an nVidia 6600GT thru DVI at
1080i and getting a good picture.
