The Hauppauge HVR-3000 and HVR-4000 are both 100% supported in Linux and
I use the HVR-4000 with no problems. Has DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-S2 support
(not at the same time) and Analog TV and FM support

DVB-S2 support works well now and I can see the  DVB-S2 Sky Channels
(encrypted) now with it. 

THE HVR-2200 (Dual DVB-T) won't have linux support for a LONG time.

Thanks
