I have done this. All you need to know is at:
www.mythtv.org
It's all been done for you :) I recommend getting a Hauppage PVR250/350
card, the ivtv drivers for it are on sourceforge (ivtv.sourceforge.net).
These cards have hardware encoders so no cpu load for grabbing. The 350
has a decoder as well. Probably best you join the mythtv mailing list
and learn all about it there.
Cheers,
Andrew
