Search the list, this question has been asked a gazillion times.

You need 2 cards, an input and an output.

bt878 chip for your input or one of them linux supported hardware
encoding devices.

The you want output, anything by batrox appears good, G400 is the 'best
supported' for linux.  Or, the dxr3 is the 'best looking' but no easiest
to use.  Its a hardware mpeg2 decoding device.

Really, your best bet is to find a tv-out card that looks good to you.. 
There just to much to chose from these days.. but the consensus is on
the 2 mentioned.
