A DVB-* tuner receives a MPEG stream and passes it on. The software does the 
rest. As long as you have decent drivers for whatever card you want to use 
the rest doesn't really matter.

Currently you'll need loads of CPU to do H.264, it's slowly getting better. I 
don't have any H.264 stuff so don't have any specifics.
