Any PVR card is going to add a delay to the video feed. This happens because the card creates a buffer of the stream in order for the PVR functionality to work (pause, rewind, etc). This is because the card writes to the hard drive, then feeds the file from the hard drive back out. It doesn't stream directly from the input to the output. There are hacks for certain cards, like the hauppauge PVR150 I've heard, but it is what it is.
