I dont think your looking for a capture card as much as your looking for a TV Card. The cards Nash and Mont suggested would work great, never seen a Leadtek in action but I have heard good things about those as well. The ATI AIW cards are out of the question because your looking for a PCI card and if you get a AIW that old, it would not be as good of quality.

TV Card = Watch TV on / Record / Output to TV
Capture Card = Capture Video from different sources / Output to different sources.

When I think of capture card I think of the Matrox X10 / 100 or the cards from Pinnacle / Canopus like TwoToTango. Most of these cost a fair bit more then your average TV card, but usually dont have a Cable input, only RCA / Firewire.
