[Wftl-lug] Help, please, recording TV

[gar at meamil.net]

I found this article...  http://www.linux.com/feature/118668

"My Series 1 TiVo is getting old, so I am planning an escape route based on MythTV, a free software system that turns an old computer into a personal video recorder. This week I tested three MythTV-specific Linux distributions: KnoppMyth, MythDora, and MythBuntu.
I found MythDora the best overall fit for my needs -- but there are
important distinctions between the three that may lead you to a
different decision."

Perhaps one of their forums will give you some ideas.  Unfortunately, I don't have a PVR card, so TV on the computer is still sort of a 'myth' for me. ;)
