Best HTPC setup

One card? I take it, that it will only take an analog signal from directv, right? which card is this?

It is this one:

Speaking of, I was checking newegg to see if they have them, but they don't have them yet. However, there are a lot customer comments on the PVR-150 complaining that when they open the box, instead of the PVR-150, they are finding HVR-1600s. They complain not because they paid $90 and received a $120 card, but because apparently it doesn't work with the ivtv Linux drivers, which only work with PVR models. Just FYI.
