I have a Lifeview FLyVideo 2000, it works ok, Philips chip. Cost just under $50 with remotecontrol. Not the easiest to install maybe, but ok. Picture is good, but i think the tuner is mono. The included software is good enough except that the mpeg recording sucks so i record in YUV Avi when timeshifting.
I guess you already checked www.videohelp.com/capturecards ??

If image quality is less important, look for a card that has a good program guide and automated recording support. I find TitanTV to be very good and ATI's Guide+ the worse. Other options to explore are Beyond TV3 and SageTV.

For TitanTV, here is their list of supported pvr/tuners.
