All that is needed to have a PVR is a TV tuner card that is supported by Linux, which you then can save your shows to a hard drive.

I was thinking about that, but I want to do a proof of concept with the available hardware to see if its worth investing in a pvr box. Only problem I might have is I might need to buy a cheapo sound card, cause my box does not have one. In fact I might do it over this long weekend shouldn't be two hard to accomplish.
