The Asus MyCinema U3100 is much cheaper and works well too.

Support for the Hauppauge HVR-900 (hybrid DVB-T/analogue) is broken at
the moment - early versions work, but the DVB-T tuner does not with my
later version.  It did work a few months ago, but there seems to have
been a regression in recent kernels.
