I'd also suggest the Hauppage cards, they're probably the best supported 
cards out of the box.

You don't mention if you want an analogue tuner card or a Freeview card. 
  If you want an Analogue one then probably anything with a BT848 or 
BT878 chipset would work (which covers most analogue PCI TV Tuner 
cards).  For Digital cards check out this site...

You'd be looking for DVB cards (DVB-T for Terestrial i.e. Freeview, and 
DVB-S for Freesat).
