So I've been thinking about picking up a PVR card and turning an old machine I have lying around into a MythTV box to replace my tivo to get rid of that

I've been on the fence about MythTV for a long time now, just not sure which card to get. It's between the Hauppauge 250, 350, and new 500 cards. I just haven't done enough research to find out if the HW decoding in the 350 or the two tuners in the 500 are supported in Linux. The 250 is normally the sure bet except I have a really old CPU (700) so the HW decode sounds quite appealing. If anyone has any experience with the more advanced cards, please pass the knowledge along. thanks BR
