There's one under development (still early but some people are
already using it for MythTV):
http://ivtv.sf.net/
I don't know how difficult it would be to port to a PPC platform.
The driver is x86 only, depends quite heavilly on the x86 hardware and
isn't easilly rewritten for PPC. I had to experience this the hard way,
buy buying a PVR250 for my Pegasos, driver didn't compile, so I made some
hasty hacks, but no that didn't help, so PVR250 and PVR350 and any other
board using the same chip will not work on PPC untill someone starts a new
project to write an platform undependent driver or a special one for PPC.
