The Plextor device is is a hardware encoding device. I have not tried one with
0.22, but I see it's still listed as a choice for encoder types, so I assume
it still works, it worked well with 0.20, though only the mpeg4 mode was
supported by Myth.

Understand, but just about all the devices that do that can also tune analog
RF signals. I think there is/was a version of the Plextor that did not have a
tuner though.
I use a PVR-150 to record S-Video from a satellite receiver and it works quite
well. In fact, the tuner is a weak point in the PVRs, the baseband recordings
look significantly better than ones made using the RF input.
