You could use the kfir, or the Haupauge VDR 250/350.
The kfir drivers are at linuxtv.org. I haven't heard anything about
kfir2 in a while.
The drivers for the Haupauge are still under construction. Ask on the
video4linux mailing list for details
(https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list).
or have a look at the sourceforge page http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/.
