I agree USB is probably your best bet, there are PCMCIA capture  
devices, but I don't know how good they might be or if Myth supports  
them.

Firewire is another possibility if you have the right hardware from  
your cable co., and you could use a PCMCIA F/W interface if the board  
doesn't have it built-in.
