Default TV Tuner Card with AM?

There are a lot of TV Tuner cards with FM Radio tuners included. Why are there none with AM?

Doesn't AM pick up lots of interference from electronics? Maybe because it would be around so many things that are probably unsheilded *shrugs* Demand as well, seeing as most people use FM.

It's not hard to connect a radio up to a computer. Why not just do that?

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but BarePaw raises a good question. But, why not stop there...

Can you add digital cable? Most of my favorite channels are the ones that are digital only in the 300 range. Also, can you have wireless cable?
