For MCE and Vista with analogue TV or a Foxtel/Optus box, the Hauppauge PVR150 is ideal. If you want to do DVB TV, get the Nova-T 500MCE as it has dual tuners - both of these cards are low-profile or standard height. For MythTV under Linux, the AverMedia A777 is natively supported - see www.linuxtv.org for more cards.
