The Hauppauge WinTV HVR950 works reasonably well. I say 'reasonably' 
because I had some difficulties with the driver ( em??? something). But 
that was almost a year ago on Fedora 6 (I think) and the driver has 
undergone some upgrading since then.

Reception was not bad, just using the 6 inch whip antenna which came 
with it. Not bad for not much over $100 Cdn with tax.

There is likely more info about this subject on the Mythtv wiki. Start
