Looking for a decent digital tuner--and one with "Add Digital Channels" feature

I had forgot about issues with using the DirecTV/OTA combo tuners without access cards (because I always had cards in mine). Can you put in a card long enough to change the setting(s), then remove the card? If so, you could probably borrow a card from a friend with DirecTV long enough to do so. (DirecTV boxes also have error messages about incorrect cards, but that should not be a problem just to get into the menus if I remember right.)
