I don't know Haupage, but most Japanese use MythTV with following mpeg2 
cards.

Kurotoshiko CX23416GYC-STVLP/R (I use it, cheapest)
BAFFALO     PC-MV51XR/PCI (same CX23416GYC-STVLP/R)
IO-DATA	    GV-MVP/RX
IO-DATA	    GV-MVP/RX2  (minor change of GV-MVP/RX)
IO-DATA	    GV-MVP/RX2W (double tuner version of GV-MVP/RX2)

Thease cards work in a modified version of ivtv driver in the following 
site.
