You're going to need at least 2 single tuner cards (such as a Hauppauge PVR-150), or at least 1 dual tuner card (Hauppauge PVR-500) in your backend. Your frontend only needs one video and audio interface to the TV/Receiver. Myth handles the rest. The Nvidia line of video cards are a good choice because of their linux support. There's lots of possibilites with audio cards, most work with linux and alsa just fine.
