A lot of mythtv users use FC2. I would look to the Mythtv list archives at

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/

and then maybe sign up for that list. Many people use the Hauppauge 
WinTV PVR-250 (hardware encoding; software decoding) and PVR-350 
(hardware encoding and decoding) cards which are supported by the IvyTV 
(http://ivtv.sf.net) drivers. I think you can also use the cheaper 
WinTV-GO cards, which do not have a hardware encoder and therefore 
require a much faster processor.
