Any card will do. They generally have a standard programmable interface.
One good application that can drive them is tvtime. It works
fine with a plain vanilla (2.6 but not 2.4) kernel.

I have a tv tuner card from pinnacle. Ironically, tvtime is so much
better than the software pinnacle wrote (which is terrible) that I use
tvtime exclusively now. If you're using it with win xp, I'd stay away
from pinnacle cards.
