best multiple capture card setup

So guys and gals, I've two PVR-250 cards and one PVR-350 card. currently I am using only two of my PVR-250 cards, I am not very happy with but I am not that much disappointed either. I was thinking to get something better than two PVR-250's. Is there any card on the market that is better than PVR-250? I mean for multiple card configuration?

I did read about cards that had DIVX compression, but they are all external ones, and not every card you can use in multiple configuration.

I would love to have full HDTV support but I understand such are not available for Sage.

Anyway if I wanted to just get rid of my two PVR-250 and replace them with something much better what would it be? I would like to have maybe 3 or 4 tuners in the near future. Can someone recommend good setup? that is not going to drive me crazy?

Thank you so very much.

Chris
