I run a MythTV box with an AverMedia M179 - it works, but the quality
leaves much to be desired. I've heard good things about the Hauppauge
PVR-250 and -350, but make sure the one you get has compatible firmware
- apparently Hauppauge has switched up the firmware of late. You can
find drivers and information on what will work for those two cards and
the M179 at http://205.209.168.201/~ckennedy/ivtv/

From my experience, setting up MythTV was easy. Setting up the capture
card was the hard part - the drivers were very much alpha quality when I
set up my box. It should be much better now.
