Any recs for a card that will work in both OS X and Windows? I'm just looking for tuning extended basic channels - what I get straight out of the wall. I'd like some recording and encoding ability, too. Looking to keep it as cheap as possible.

I may not understand fully your requirements but what about EyeTV?

I think that's a good option obviously but it's overpriced for my needs. I've got capacity in my tower for an internal card so I don't want to pay for an external USB device unless I have to. Sorry that wasn't clear from my post.

I need a tuner with Clear QAM, NTSC and some decent software. That's about it. Internal, external doesn't matter. Hardware encoding doesn't matter either. Any other thoughts?

There's this one from hauppauge wich is compatible PC and Mac. I know it's not internal but it still pretty cheap.

Understood but if you bought a used one (say the 200) it would come with the old Titan TV subscription which is free. I just had to buy a new 250 as my old 200 burned out and now it's using TV guide which is free the first year but I suspect I am going to get hit with a $50 annual fee next year.
