It might be overkill, but I recently purchased a Hauppauge PVR-250 card to use with MythTv. This card accepts composite, S-Video and coax inputs. It works fine with Linux. The card has a built-in mpeg encoder, so you get mpeg captures straight from the card. I got the card and MythTv working on a FC1 box running 2.6.4. It took a little searching to find the right drivers for 2.6.4. Now I'm searching for a case that won't look like crap in my entertainment center to complete the project.
