My neighbor has MythTV and I'm jealous! What kind of tuner video cards
are recommended?

For recording broadcast TV, four channels is severe overkill. With a
single-tuner TiVo, we saw 3-5 conflicts a week. With dual tuners,
that dropped to ~1/month.
Commercial TV shows are rebroadcast enough times that you can almost
always find a schedule that gets everything you're interested in.
(TiVo does that automatically with a quite clever scheduling
algorithm. I don't know about MythTV.)
If you're building a video surveillance system or interactive art
installation, though, those boards might be just the ticket.
