[olug] Off topic: Roku box users?

Since the RoksBox.com "channel" for Roku appears to allow the Roku box to
play streams from a NAS share, I'm thinking about resurrecting my MythTV box
with a couple of inexpensive USB tuner cards to capture the few over-the-air
shows we want that aren't easily available on Roku/NetFlix/Hulu.

Anyone have any USB tuners they'd like to promote as being MythTV/Linux
compatible and hopefully less than $50 each?  (NewEgg has one today for $30,
but it doesn't look very Linux friendly...)

I need USB because my MythTV back-end that I'll be setting up is a small
form factor PC with only one PCI slot available...

Thanks,
Dan
