ATI cards have the best built in TV Tuners that I've found. And since,
they use BTTV chips, they work in Linux. Rather than buy one of the ATI
All-IN-Wonder series, though, I just added a PCI ATI-TV Wonder onto my
system. it was only about $80 mail order. The rest of my video card
budget I put into a kick-butt NVidia Card. (This also means that when
the NVidia card is obsolete, I don't have to replace the TV card, too)

For a while I had a Voodoo3/3500, but the drivers are only alpha
quality, and aren't part of the default kernel.
