To be honest, I pretty much never use it for live TV. But I remember testing the pause and rewind capabilities. They worked, but with a slight (<1 second) lag.
If you plan on doing lots of live TV watching you'll probably benefit a lot from a faster system, but the capabilities should work on your machine as a proof of concept, as it were. But then again, if you're planning on watching lots of live TV, then why build a PVR in the first place? If you can't find a card online, you might try the old fashioned way and call your local Comp USA or Best Buy or whatever. I recall seeing the cards quite often, at least before Christmas. You'll pay a bit more in the shop, but there's no waiting.
