The cable company DVR's support this, but not ones you purchase or make yourself.
You'll need a Tuning Adaptor, and you'll need to have it work with whatever DVR you use.
In my case they have a Tuning Adaptor (No charge at all) that was provided to get my Tivo to work.
I don't know if it would work with a MythTV setup or similar. Christopher Fisk -- "We must have the attitude that every child in America, regardless of where they're raised or how they're born, can learn." George W. Bush, April 18, 2001
