(my first post in Linux-IL, lets hope I get it right!)
Hello Gil.
I'm also trying to achieve the same thing.
The Hauppauge WinTV series works great with Linux, yet- it doesn't matter which TV provider you use (cables or sat), since it gets connected using a coxial cable, which is outputted from both cables' and satellite's convertors(memirim?:P).
I am still on an analog connection. One of the main reasons is that I don't want to program both the video and the converter. Also with analog connection I can watch one channel using the TV tuner and record another using the video tuner.
(still trying to figure out where can I buy WinTV in Israel.)
I e-mail Hauppauge and I am still waiting for a reply.
Though, I'm looking at the direction of DVB - which can connect directly to your satellite or cables output... I have no idea yet if it'll work in Israel, but it's an option (and a better one - it's digital, and if I'm not mistaken (and I hope I'm not!) it allows you to watch multiple channels simultanously (that means, record something on channel A while watching channel B)
my default selection would be either debian or gentoo.
I am trying knoppmyth (http://hust.la/KnoppMyth/), a knoppix+mythtv hybrid.
good luck
