AGP Hardware MPEG2 capture card with linux support?

Does anyone know of a hardware MPEG2 capture card that is AGP and has linux support? I'm building an HTPC but the computer I decided on only has 1 AGP and 1 PCI slot and I was originally wanting dual tuners. I'm pretty sure I'm going with a Hauppauge 250 for the PCI slot but I just got an idea that there might be an AGP hardware MPEG2 capture card.. Anyone know of one?
 
The only way to get capture on AGP is to use a full blown graphics card with video-in or TV-in capability. ATi all-in-wonder and VIVO cards, NVidia personal cinema or VIVO-enabled, plus, and this might be the winning deal for you, S3's forthcoming OmniChrome card - simply because neither the ATi nor the NVidia chips do MPEG2 compression in hardware, and the S3 chip _might_ have it.
 
USB 2.0 tuners are hitting the market. Some feature hardware encoding (First one I hit in Google, not a recommendation)

Might offer a solution for you? I have no idea about USB 2.0 support in Linux btw🙂
