Awesome Donkey:
As far as I know it's a lack of drivers outside of Windows sort of thing.

That's correct. There is no operating system supplied API for that outside of windows.

Bozer:
Actually Hauppauge provides a driver for Linux on their website. Also there is a generic version of the tuner driver included in Debian that is also present in the kernel of Mint. There is also an older program that will watch and and record OTA video streams. I had tried all that before I decided to take the plunge and leave windows in my living room too, as it's the last hold out in my house. I wanted to continue with JRiver because all my media is in the library already in it's format. So I purchased a master license this time thinking I was going to be golden. Oops my bad. Thanks for your time.

Drivers and API's aren't the same thing. The windows API support lots of cards in a generic manner.
I tried plenty of tuners for linux and the support was totally clunky.
This is why we decided to support uPnP based network cards since we had already implemented that framework across all of our supported platforms.
It's just one of those unfortunate situations where your proprietary hardware won't work.
