What country are you in? Germany? Different countries use
different HDTV standards, and different cards. I think that
Germany uses dvb-t, but it might pay to ask a German language
group.

Do you want an internal PCI card? An external USB dongle?

At the NTLUG Linux Fair this past weekend, Rick Cook was showing
off the Happauge WinTV-HVR-950. It's a very small device
that connects via USB and has a digital antenna for ATSC/NTSC.
He was showing it via Kaffeine's TV tuner. Reception in the
facility was a bit spotty, but he says normally it is quite
clear.
