TV tuner advice
I want to get a pretty decent TV tuner PCI card. Unfortunately, after looking on www.tigerdirect.com where I usually get my computer stuff, I realized that I have no idea what "pretty decent" means. Also, I have no idea which (if any) would run on Linux (Ubuntu - Dapper). Can anyone recommend one that's good, but will also run on my OS?
Thanks

... Just reviewed the Linux support link; and there is Linux support for the less expensive MCE (media channel edition) of the PVR-150 as well -- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116620
... it's obvious if you read the descriptions of ALL of the cards mentioned in this thread; but NONE of them are HDTV cards. I've not been able to find any HDTV cards with Linux support -- although the MyHD TV card is mentioned in several Linux forums as one which drivers are "in process" for.
... I presume "pretty decent" means a good non-HD tuner ==> in which case the PVR-150 link above is an excellent and inexpensive choice.
