A PVR-150 is probably your best bet, for it's combination of MythTV support, quality, and price.<br><br><div>I would not imagine that there is any benefit to getting a card without a tumer as opposed to one with a tuner.

The only obvious advantage would be cost, but that comes out in the
wash when you consider the higher volumes that cards with tuners sell
at.</div></blockquote><div><br>A basic PVR-150 MCE will undercut almost anything else ( < $70 ). Even a
"featured" one with Radio and Remote can be had for under $100 with
some patience and Googling. They are very well supported under Linux
in general and MythTV specifically...but don't expect a true "plug and
play" experience with them. <br>

Some people have more luck than others, even under what appear to be
almost identical configs. I think everyone gets their issues worked
out in the end, but there is some playing required for most. I'm still
trying to find why I'm not getting sound thru my coax tuner on mine (
though I admit to only having a few sporadic blocks of time every few
days to work on it ), but I'm confident it's "me" and not a problem
with the card, ivtv or Linux.<br>
