Recommendation on buying an USB TV tuner (analog OR hybrid) that will work?

It seems that most PCI TV tuner cards do have some support for Linux. I'm not sure though about the USB ones (analog OR hybrid).

Do you have any experience that you could share regarding USB TV tuners (analog OR hybrid) under Ubuntu? I don't want to buy some device and then find out it's useless (if it's not working at all under Ubuntu).

I have two Plextor PX-TV402U's, one used with Mythbuntu and the other with a workstation to get videos from an analog camcorder. It's a lot more than a TV tuner, and they work great! There is a Linux driver, and they can be a little hard to find now. Might try Amazon instead of Plextor website. The hardware encoding keeps the loads off my CPUs.
