You can still use PCI tuners on all PCIe motherboards.  I have that
working for my mother on her new motherboard where she is using two
Hauppauge Nova TD-500 dual tuner PCI cards to get her four DVB-T
tuners.  You just use a PCIe to PCI adapter.  This looks like the one
I am using:

I got mine from TradeMe, but I can not see any on there at the moment.
The PCI cards are sitting in the adapter on the floor out the back of
the PC:

This has been running since mid-2020 without any problems at all.

There are other adapters that put a low profile PCI card directly in a
PCIe slot, and various variants.
