For FM only you need a basic card - there is no need to get ones with
advanced video (e.g. with hardware MPEG encoding) which reduce CPU when
recording TV.

I have tested with a cheap KWorld card and a Hauppauge PVR 350.  Both
are PCI cards.  I have not tested with USB adaptors but I expect them
to work. 

Analog only cards are getting rarer - Hauppauge have the biggest
selection so something like the WinTV PCI FM  (
http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_radio.html ).  You must
make sure there is an analogue FM tuner as some cards are made in
version without the FM tuner.

I suspect that combined analogue and digital cards would also work but
some manual plugin settings would be needed. 

If you have not got hardware already then if you would also like AM as
well as FM an alternative to the above is a Griffin RadioShark2 USB
AM/FM tuner ( http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/radioshark2  ).
I have posted a similar functionality plugin for the RadioShark2.
