Tony,
You might want to use an older hard disk.(under 540mb).. it sounds weird, but
the older disks seem to be more sturdy than new ones...
first get your tvtuner card working... and your networking... read up on bttv
(module), and xawtv (there are a lot of command line options, one maybe to
just cap an image). The rest will be the fun part (scripting it all...)
I can do windows... but I havnt bought/used regularly anything newer than
98... Im much happier in a linux environment :)
