For what it's worth, I picked up two cheap ($7 and $11, respectively) bktr cards on eBay and they work fine. One's an old S3-branded BT878 card and the other had a fairly common brand, but I can't think of it right now. They work great with xawtv and the bktr driver. Sure, they don't have any hardware encode/decode features, but they do work. I've got a PVR250, an older one, that's also properly detected, but I've never tried to do anything with it.
