If you want 2 ATSC "cards" I'd go with the HDHR. Two tuners, network 
connection (no slot or case space required) and you can locate them anywhere 
on your LAN.

The HDHR is well supported by Myth, and has been for a while, so the support 
is pretty stable.

There are less expensive options, but the convenience is worth it, IMHO.

Note how free I am with spending *your* money :-)

Mythdora is a good choice for an initial system, especially if you are 
familiar with FC.
