Any card with a Bt848/878 chipset (in other wordsm 95% of the TV cards
on the market) will work great.  I'd recommend you head to eBay and look
for a "STB TV PCI" -- there are usually 5-6 going at any one time, for
around $30-40.  They handle Stereo and FM broadcasts too, and work
wonderfully with the bttv drivers.
