HTPC issues

    I built a PC this week for use as a HTPC but am having a couple of issues so I thought I'd ask around. I used the following parts:

    Antec NSK1380 case
    Intel DH67GD motherboard
    Intel Core i3 2100
    8GB DDR3 (overkill I know, but it's so cheap)
    500GB 2.5" SATA hard disk (I had one spare and I won't be buying new for now due to the prices)
    LG CH10LS20 BD-ROM drive
    Microsoft remote and IR receiver
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64

    I reused two TerraTec tuners I had knocking about, a Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS (for DVB-T) and a Cinergy S2 HD PCI (for DVB-S/S2). The DVB-T tuner works perfectly. However if I had done my homework beforehand I would have spotted that the DVB-S2 PCI card is incompatible with this board (Code 10 errors or BSODs depending on the driver version). So I need a new satellite card. Any recommendations? Single or dual tuner doesn't really matter for now as I only have one satellite feed.

    The other issue is to do with image quality. The deinterlacing in Windows Media Center is terrible under fast movement. I have Media Center set to 1080p 50Hz so I know that's not the issue. I've read this might be due to the Intel GPU, would I be better off popping a dedicated video card in there? If so, what one? I was thinking about the Nvidia GT430.
