PCIe Analogue Tuner Cards

Hey,
Does anyone know of a decent PCIe Tuner card ?
I'd ordered a Sapphire ATI Theatre 550 Pro card from CCL who told
it was a PCIe card but when it arrived I found out it was a PCI card.

Since I don't have any free PCI slots it either a matter of moving PCI cards around in my machine and getting a new PCIe video card or sending the tuner back and getting a PCIE tuner card if any one can recommend one ??

I'd prefer the second (cheaper option)

thanks
R

EDIT : Sorry should have said Analogue tuner

It doesn't say if it has BDA drivers so I assume it isn't MCE compatible.

Dave
If you look at the PDF manual you will see it has a "Designed for Windows XP Media Center Edition" logo.
So I assume it comes with a BDA driver.

If you search on the Web you'll see Hush Tech are using them in their MCE boxes - hence I assume they are MCE compatible.
