While I can't give you any personal recommendations, I would suggest checking out the mythtv.org site. They have a hardware list that is usually fairly current.
I doubt that you will find any vendor supported linux compatible cards, though.
Is this a desktop or notebook? Asking for 'card/adapter' is a bit ambiguous. If it is a notebook I think your only option is a USB adapter. There are some listed on the linuxtv site given in the previous post.
You may need to compile a new kernel as a lot of DVB support has been added in the last few months.
Well, I'm using a desktop at the moment, but if I can find a really good USB adapter I'd be happier. Thinking about switching to a laptop in the near future.
