Huh?  HDMI is the spec for the link to the display device (the
TV/Monitor).  It's got nothing at all to do with receiving
ATSC.

For PCI, there's the PCHDTV cards designed especially for
Linux.  They start at $129.  There are some cheaper boards ones
out there as well.  I'm using an Ethernet widget that works
well <http://www.silicondust.com/wiki/products/hdhomerun> But
it was $179 the last time I looked.
