I use a Plextor M402U which is an external USB attached device that has SVHS and audio in, and has GPL'd V4L2 drivers. I bought it a few years ago to use with MythTV and it works great, captures DivX natively. The only downside is that you have to patch your kernel because the drivers are not mainline yet. There's also a version with a built in tuner if you have cable.
