A card without a tuner may not be very interesting to the developers of Myth or V4L, and therefor might not be well supported.

For example, the drivers for the analog portion of my ATI HDTV Wonder card have been broken for more than a year. There is a bug
report and the bug has been confirmed, but there has been no apparent activity on fixing the bug.

You want to pick a card that the developers find interesting to guarantee good support.
