Which ATI Card for HD Sage Playback

Im currently using integrated Nvida GeForce 6150 on my motherboard as my video card. I am thinking about moving to an ATI video card because I get a great discount on their products. My machine is only used for SageTV, so I don't need some crazy HD gaming card. I am using (2) HVR-1600 cards for my HD/NTSC recording. I dont know much about the latest ATI cards. What would you guys recommend as a good ATI card for HD playback with SageTV?

Probably look into the 3650 or maybe even a 35/34 series card. They run cooler than the 2xxx series and feature the same VC-1/H.264 playback acceleration.
