    I'd wait.... soon the country is going digital and there isnt really a great selection of high quality digital tv tuners.. most are still analog or at the most only recieve digital signal over the air. (except for a few USB ones)

    The one paladin44 said is the best one, i have the HC81 model which doesn't include remote, looks quite new that product i cant seem to find it anywhere either. The closest one i found is this one: http://www.mediaatlantic.com/product.php/170431/0/

    but it's a UK web site - this model doesn't include remote, believe the model you want is the HC82R.

    I dont think that card picks up digital TV through Co-Ax though? Only through over the air transmission (which isnt good you get less channels afaik)

    I'd like a digital TV tuner that I can plug directly into to my Coax from FIOS.

    if you have vista and have windows media centre i think you can use the control for that to use with the tv tuner, while i had XP i could use the control with my tv tuner but the arial was rubbish and couldnt pick up anything but when i upgraded to vista the tv tuner started to work great and i i was given a remote for it which works great.
