No current ATI board (or any other video board of which I am aware) has
a US-spec ATSC high definition tuner--there may be some for the European
or Japanese standards.

The Dvico boards give a very nice picture when they work--right now
they're still getting the decoder sorted out and it hangs occasionally,
how occasionally seems to depend on your signal quality. The MIT MyHD
has hardware decoding and is very well regarded at the moment, but
costs a good deal more and uses VGA or DVI pass-through rather than
displaying via the overlay, so there may be some quality degradation on
the computer display (it goes through the HD board before it gets to
the monitor). For the others, check the latest driver revision--some of
them aren't very well supported.

Also, you might want to check out http://www.avsforum.com and
http://www.tv-cards.com where you'll find a good deal of discussion of
PC-based HDTV.
