I would recommend one of the PVR-X50 from Hauppauge.  They have pretty 
good support in Linux.  Some of the included windows software does 
exactly what you are planning, just in case you have a windows 
partition.  They cost a little more than a standard frame grabber 
because it has a hardware based encoder, but the hw encoder produces, in 
my opinion a higher quality picture.   I've used a pvr-250 in my mythtv 
box for the last three years, I've been quite happy with it.

The 150 will be right up you alley.
