It was a while ago you asked but I have had good sucess with a WinTVR 250 PVR 
card, just (today) got it running after my debain migration on 
unstable/2.6.11. The card has a (tv) tuner built in and AV input (camcorders 
etc). 

On a side note the guy in PC world assured me "in his extensive computer 
experience that this card WOULD NOT work in linux", what is wrong with people 
who think they know a little bit, a simple "i don't know" would of been more 
helpful.

I have chucked some (not quite complete) notes at:-

compile and setup and I am watching futurarma live on my desktop right now as 
i type ;-)
