You can always get a HDHomeRun PRIME tuner from Silicon Dust for $200.
 This unit takes a Cable Card which you get from TWC (they are
required to provide one on request by the FCC).

The Silicon Dust forums show that this unit is supported by MythTV on Linux !

My household uses MythTV with the older HDHomerun with two antenna
feeds - no cable TV at all.  This is supplemented by XBMC with the
bluecop plugin for Hulu (free) and Amazon Prime ($79/year) streaming
over TWC Road Runner.  We have a single remote control for the
computer and an IR blaster to control the TV with lirc.
