[lug] linux tv tuner cards?

[D. Stimits]

I'm curious if anyone here has heard of television capture cards which 
work under linux...but with this twist: Capable of using digital cable, 
rather than just an analog tuner? Perhaps something PCI, so I can keep 
using my current video card? It's only a matter of a year or less I 
think before the local cable starts transmitting digital only (or making 
digital available on all channels; but not in high definition for basic 
channels), and the separate digital-to-analog tuners cost around $200 
each. Unfortunately I'm not finding much, I have a feeling that nobody 
wants to manufacture such a thing for fear of getting sued. Also I 
imagine there are problems piping enough bandwidth to the video card 
over an ordinary PCI bus, so I suspect that whatever solutions there 
are, they'll be integrated with an expensive high-end video card as well.
