There's an article in this month's Linux Journal about MythTV, and they mention the Hauppauge PVR-150. They also mention Gentoo as the best distribution for MythTV!

Re: [gentoo-user] Video capture card recommendations
I have 2 Hauppauge PVR-250's in a mythtv box And i couldn't be happier with the cards. the IVTV driver is in portage, and works great. And i've owned for of those 250's for over 2 years now. bryce Budd, Tracy wrote: I just need a bare-bones card to make backups of my VCR tapes and DVDs.

Of the two, I find the HD-3000 easier to use, and less expensive than the PVR-350. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
