I bought myself one of these: 
http://www.digitalnow.com.au/product_pages/DualUSB.html from digitalnow 
last week.  It works very nicely.  I did have to upgrade my system from 
Fedora Core 3 to CentOS 5, as I couldn't get the drivers to work with 
FC3 though.  I guess any recent distro will work with it just fine.  I 
used the latest v4l-dvb drivers.
