Are you sure about that? Because most of these say Tivo compatible:

But they are WUSB11 version 2.8, which supposedly isn't a prism2 but rather
atmel chipset, and not supported by Kismac, according to this:

there are a ton of prism2 usb's out there for far less than $100.  Try ebay.

Here's a link

If it says it's Tivo compatible than it's prism2.
