Two immediately come to mind - I have both:
Hauppauge Nova-T
Leadtek LR6550*
The Leadtek LR6650 is very hard to get hold of, most are found second hand
being ex-OEM models supplied with Packard Bell computers. It is slightly
better than the Nova-T as it allows for RF passthrough -> You can connect
other devices (VCR, TV, Digibox) to the same aerial without purchasing a
splitter.
Both cards are very well supported albeit with the *latest* kernels.
