None of the above have hardware mpeg encoders. A good card that I'd recommend for your needs right now is the Hauppauge HVR-1800.
This is a dual tuner combo atsc/qam / hardware mpeg encoder card. Already the ATSC/QAM support is in the 2.6.24 kernel. Stoth has the hardware mpeg encoder working in his cx23885-video tree. After some more testing and cleanups, it will eventually be merged into the master repository, hopefully in time for the 2.6.26 kernel release.
HTH,
Mike
