It's not an amd64 box, but I've been using a pvr-250 for years.  Works great 
under linux.  I'd suggest mythtv if you want to make a tivo like unit.  If 
you are recording videos, I'd recompress it with mencoder before putting it 
on a dvd.  As the pvr-250 produces streams with mismatched a/v streams.  The 
mpeg container has timestamps so most players fix this.  However most dvd 
creation software doesn't, resulting in very frustrating broken streams. 
Some editors even crash.  The problem is inflamed with old camera footage.

Also get the non MCE edition, so you get the remote right?  As far as I know 
that works great in linux too.
