    For 50 quid you already get a quite decent one. I have a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-TD 500 Dual which can record one program while you watch another one. I used to use it with Windows MCE and now on Ubuntu.

    I got one for £11.50 del. off ebay but you need a good aerial signal or it won't even install.

    I've had the Hauppauge Nova-T single tuner USB for around 18 months. Good bit of kit, picks up most (Freeview) channels with the supplied noddy aerial, and all of them using an outdoor aerial indoors (just had one hanging around...) - I am in a good signal area though.

    Advantage of the USB is you can install in several machines (eg desktop at home, laptop for your travels) and swap the dongle as needed.
