At kiki.

The first winTV (1660) or the last card (the ASUS one) are you best bets. Had a chance to look them up.

Depending on the board you are using, PCI might be easier than the PCIE one though. Not sure which of the two tuners is actually better, but AFAIK there is nothing to stop you from using both in case you want to record two HD channels simultaneously.

The other two are NTSC only.

Another option is sell them all and go for a single dual tuner ATSC card like the hauppage 1800 (IIRC).

Its a short lived investment though, and if you have Comcast, might be worth looking into a good mstream or cable card tuner. IF you want full DVR capability.
