There was just a discussion on tv tuner cards on slashdot a couple days
ago, this reminds me I wanted to go back to it when there were more
comments :)

http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/03/12/27/205257.shtml

the discussion will tend to be a bit more linux-oriented but even if you
never have plans of running linux, if linux support is available more
likely windows drivers will still be available years down the road. Or
whatever OS is hot 10 years from now.

I went to newegg.com and saw a tv tuner card there that I was
interested in. Unfortunately they were sold out. I had that page
saved and I had signed up to be informed when it came in and was
available for purchase. I did not write down any information about
this tv tuner card. I had it saved in my favorites and all of a
sudden when I go to that page it is blank. Does this mean they no
longer sell it?

The features I was most interested in for this particular card was:
Turn pc on and off by remote control
FM Tuner
16 Channel Preview


Does anyone know of another tv tuner card(PCI, NOT USB) that can do
the same?

Well my old Pinancle card had those features except maybe the turn the
PC off feature. However there are remote programs that you can assign
functions to keys for the pinnacle remote so maybe its possible,

A lot of cards have remotes , FM tuners and the ability to cover your
PC screen with a wall of mini screens of as many channels that will
fit,

I have found the card. You can find it at this url:
http://www.pcchipsusa.com/prod-tvtunercard.asp

It is hard to find to purchase however. I did find it on ebay and it
is on its way now. The reviews that I found for it were exceptionally
well, so I feel comfortable purchasing this remote.
