No problem doing time shifting then (with a little tweaking). 
I'm using gentoo but its really easy to setup any bttv compatible tuner in any linux 
distribution with 2.4.x kernel. You have to compile bttv support into kernel and then 
load bttv and some other modules but there's a great deal of info on google. If you 
run into troubles post here or email me.
regards
