I use the BlackGold cards and they are superb - i'll let other
comment on their's, but the BlackGold ones are acknowledged to be up
there in terms of quality (and price). Take a look at
http://tinyurl.com/cujp2 for a
comparison of the major ones.

6 tuners - I guess you don't miss anything!!!!! The standard
supported architecture is for 2 tuners, but there are ways to put in
more than 2 - check out http://tinyurl.com/cgxaz for a how-to
on
installing more than 2.

Size varies, but if i look at recordings i have on my box now an
hour (plus 5 minutes total before and after) ranges from 1.5 to 2GB.
