Ya, that would not work with these cards.
HDMI mini
output (HDMI-CEC compatible) You can be pretty certain the HDMI contains
audio though so will want an HDMI card. I've only had experience of PCI)e)
personally but as you say they claim Linux support for the range.
The $145 version would work for HDMI in. I am not sure how far I want to
go with this though... ie, how much I want to spend.
Actually for a tight budget I guess research into how
good support with
the Hauppauge capture cards with Linux is. I know they seem to be the
choice for Linux media boxes, at least when I looked into it a few years
back.

These look pretty good and are one of the tuner cards with the tuner not
installed. There is a PCIe with one video in and a PCI with three. It does
seem to be supported in the manner that would allow DVswitch to work
anyway. For what I want, a few webcams (nicer than the last $3 one I got)
for wide shots would probably fill out my needs.
If I was going to do serious work, I might go for the blackmagic card just
for the internal effects. For $295 it might be worth it to get the
switcher/keyer even if I never used the external connections. Then again,
with a whole switcher at $1k with 8 inputs and use the computer as a
control surface, one starts to wonder why try to do the job with a
computer anyway.
The BBC SW probably goes beyond what I want/need anyway. Though it was an
interesting read.
