It won't physically fit

EDIT: ...or work if you make it fit

No it won't fit. Send the TV tuner to me, I have plenty of PCI slots available.

For such a simple question, I'm amazed at how long this thread is.

OP: It won't physically fit, and if you made it fit then you're enjoying a fine case of square peg -> round hole.

This reminds me of a pic I saw of a video card that someone cut up just to make it fit on a motherboard. Hahaha!!! It was on the Atari forums I think.
