The limiting factor for him will be the antenna signal, so it is much more suitable for him to get the leadtek card for a better cost/performance ratio. Nothing beats 57 bucks for a stereo sound tv card with remote and fm tuner.
Here's a snapshot of the winfast tv2000xp I just made. I am using a four way splitters.

True, with antenna, reception will be key. However, the video quality is definitely better on the 880TV. I've used a 878 and a 880 card back to back, and the difference is noticable. Whether or not it's worth $30 for someone on antenna input is debatable.
