My choice was to get an ATI HDTV Wonder from eBay.  The one I got was $22 
including shipping and a warranty.  It's fully supported in Linux for both 
OTA and QAM HD as well as broadcast and cable NTSC.  If you are interested, 
make sure you get the R-10827 model (PCI interface, two F connectors, DIN 
connector below those, big tuner box, single ATI labelled chip below tuner).  
Later versions may not be supported.
