Linux compatible vid card with HDTV tuner?

Is there a pci express x16 vid card that also is an HDTV tuner? I would think such a thing would exist for HTPC's...

thanks

There are out there, but the support is not there for Linux.

KWorld PCI Express Hybird (KWorld spelled it wrong and it should be hybrid).

Others could be the following, but I think they use a PCI to PCIe bridge.

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 (Model 1129)
Leadtek WinFast PxPVR2200

An easier way to get HDTV is with SiliconDust HD Homerun Dual Network HDTV. It connects to the network and can be controlled by utilities from an OS and can be viewed on any media player.

I will second the HDHomerun suggestion.
