Driver support is said to be flakey. You might want to consider that $160 software only card that has a thread floating around here. Benefits are you get a current product rather than one that was end-of-lifed two years ago and you use your video card to display thus exactly matching your projector's resolution which usually looks a lot better than coming "close" and then letting your projector scale the signal.

Yes, you're nuts. 
The software of the WinTV-D is pretty junky especially if you want to do things like record ATSC streams to disk. Also, I think a true HD picture scaled down to 800x600p will look better than a deinterlaced 480i picture scaled up (which is what you would get with the WinTV-D).
The Fusion card is one way to go if price is an overriding factor, but based on early feedback there are still quite a few bugs to be worked out and you need a pretty powerful machine for software playback. One of the more mature Janus-based hardware cards might be a better option if you can swing the price (HiDTV Pro or MyHD would be my recommendation).
