I use a Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB 2
Works fine.. does PAL.... output is
mpeg2. Most recent distros will have
the driver. All config is easy to do
via values to sysfs.

Haven't tried to make the IR remote work.
Stable.

It's also a general grabber, so you can
also convert from composite and svideo
in addition to using its tuner.

Thanks for reply.
You have said this card has mpeg2 output. I don't really need hardware mpeg2 support. Will it be supported by such tv software as xdtv, kdetv, tvtime or something else with nice gui and easy channel control? I'm afraid not, but I'm not certain.
I rather need something with working vbi device and good support for tuning channels.
