Looking at the specs it says the card is PCI Express x1. I'm pretty sure all the Theater 550 Pro PCI Express cards are PCI Express x1, no matter who makes them.
Pcalchemy.com has some OEM ATI Theater 550 Pro TV Tuner PCI Express cards for $49.95, heck of a price for any MCE compatible TV Tuner, let alone a PCI Express one.

No Amity cards have a CX23415 chip, all Amity cards have the same encoder as the Roslyn card (the CX23416). You are probably confusing the Amity cards with the older Freestyle cards which have RCA Audio inputs but no FM. As you stated about the only place to find the Freestyle cards is on...
