There was a coupon in last week's flyer (now expired).
Not sure what to suggest here.

A TV tuner card takes a TV signal from
antenna/cable/etc., and turns it into a data that your
PC can understand. The video card take data from your
PC and turns it into something your monitor and/or TV
can deal with.

I am only aware of one well supported under Linux card
that can do both tune a TV signal and put out an
svideo signal that many TVs can deal with, the
Hauppage PVR-350 card (nice card, but a bit
expensive...).
