The Hauppauge HD-PVR is currently being sold, and has
preliminary (i.e. patch-the-source) support in MythTV.

That pulls component signals out of the cable box. It's
expensive, and the encoding is apparently difficult to decode
without either serious CPU utilization or the even more
preliminary (it suddenly appeared last week) NVidia hardware
decoding routines.

Future cloudy, ask again in six months.
