Good news:

The Hauppauge PVR-1212 is not natively supported by the Linux kernel. You won't have to compile the driver yourself. All we need now is for Myth 0.22 to be released and we're golden.

When Circuit City went out of business, I bought a digital card real cheap. It will be interesting to see if it works also. I have not even taken it out of the package yet.
