I'm not sure why you want to buy another PVR-150. Although your cable system will probably carry analog broadcasts for some time to come, the future is digital. You can get a HD-5500 <http:// www.pchdtv.com> for $129 plus shipping and be able to receive NTSC (analog), ATSC (over-the-air digital) and QAM (cable digital). It is fully supported in Linux and will allow you to record HD shows as well as standard definition.
I've actually got the previous model (still never used, grr silly budgets), and the one thing I don't know is if they'll do hardware MPEG2 encoding for NTSC signals. Which, I suppose, leaves encoding for the host CPU...
