Be careful whatever analog card you do end up putting in your backend.  
Not very many of the current offerings have hardware compression like 
the old
PVR-250/350s did.  I just put a couple of Pinnacle 800i HD cards in my 
new backend, which are capable of analog capture, as I am currently on 
analog
cable, and they are sucking down a pretty large percentage of one whole 
core on my Q6600 Intel processor recording 480x480 2200 bitrate Mpeg4.

There was a list of cards on the mythtv wiki that indicated which cards 
do hardware compression and analog capture, and it was a pretty short 
list, IIRC.
