The problem with HDTV tuner cards is hardware encoding. I don't think anyone has come up with a HDTV tuner that supports hardware encoding on the card. This means you'd have to have a fairly beefy system to the encoding.

Also, the other problem is the current ATSC tuners only suport over the air signal tuning. Any encrypted singals (read: cable, satellite)sources have to be run through a set top box that supports a video out. I think this is done now, but its a hack.
