Yup, any of the Happguage Win-TV cards work well.  The ivtv drivers for them 
are pretty mature.  The PVR-150 offers hardware mpeg2 encoding on it's TV in 
card, while the PVR-350 offers both hardware encoding and decoding (if you 
wanted to output to a TV monitor or VCR and don't have a TV out on your 
video card).

I don't think there are any ogg video servers, as ogg is an audio codec.  
There may be a
theora/vorbis video server (theora being the video codec, vorbis being the 
container format), and if not, there are plenty of tools around that could 
be used to make one.

I have a PVR-350 thats missing the IR reciever for the remote (have the 
remote though), that I'd be willing to sell for the cost of a PVR-150 
(~$100) (or trade for one).  I need the remote functionality more than I 
need the TV out.  Or if anyone has a reciever for it they want to sell, let 
me know.

Let me know more about the streaming you want to do (bandwidth, interface, 
etc), and I can find or write a server (and client if needed) for you.
