My MythTV System:

Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 card
pcHDTV card
NVidia GeForce 6200 PCI-X - used only for MPEG
decoding for the pcHDTV card, soon to be primary
output to HDTV.

Almost forgot, Some of the NVidia cards have built in MPeg decoders and the pcHDTV card coupled with the right NVidia card will allow one to capture a HD broadcast and play it back with all of the video processed through the NVidia card (as long as the NVidia card is your output source).
