I was going to go with the AIW card, but instead I'm now going to use
a digital tuner (probably the Nebula) and separate graphics card,
that way I still have access to all the Freeview channels even when
Tivo is recording something on one of them.

I hadn't considered bluetooth for the keyboard/mouse, is it expensive
and what sort of range does it have?
