If you just want to watch tv on the PC, I'd recommend "me tv" over mythtv, it is a lot easier to get setup. It also supports scheduled recording with sane file names too. I use me tv with a "Leadtek WinFast DTV Dongle", which is a usb stick with a single digital tuner in it. Works a treat. Sorry I don't have the packaging to give you more info on it. Here is the lsusb output ID 0413:6f00 Leadtek Research, Inc. WinFast DTV Dongle (STK7700P based) Depending on the store you go to you _may_ be able to plug it into a laptop and test it.
