I use Hauppauge's PVR-250 and I'm pretty happy with it. There are several newer cards out there but this one works great for me so far. Just wish that I had 2 of them so I could record 2 shows at once.
A good friend of mine here just bought the PVR-250MCE wich is pretty much the same as mine but his has AM/FM radio as well.
For PVR software you should check out BeyondTV (snag the demo from hxxp://www.snapstream.com/). It has a really nice interface and scheduling features. Will even re-encode your recorded shows into Windows Media format at scheduled times.
