I have had no problems with Hauppauge cards. My only recommendation is
to get a card that has an MPEG-2 encoder chip, that way you don't need
such a big CPU or as much RAM. Do you have HDTV only? I have a
Hauppauge HVR-1600 which has both an NTSC and an ATSC tuner. It works
very well in Linux/MythTV and will allow you to record from both
tuners at the same time.

http://www.linuxtv.org is your friend. Check out the DVB wiki for
supported ATSC/QAM cards.
