HAUPPAUGE WINTV 125-CHANNEL PCI TV TUNER W/DBX STEREO
Manufacturer Part No. 401
This is a link to the card at the site I bought it from.

$70 SKU # 1005695 at http://www.mwave.com

It uses the Bt878 and came with a remote control (IR) but I haven't
investigated whether it can
be made to work using Linux. The TV and FM works fine. We use 'xawtv' to watch
TV on it and 'radio' to use the FM radio.
