I have 2 Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-850 USB sticks in my MythTV box (Ubuntu 
8.04). USB is preferable to PCI for all kinds of reasons. I bought mine 
here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116031

Note that if you go with this device, you'll need to manually add the 
firmware to your /lib/firmware directory. You can get the firmware here:

There are plenty of other supported devices though. When I was doing my 
research, this page was an extremely useful resource for Linux ATSC 
hardware: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_Devices
