> 1)Can Mythtv go higher than 125? I believe the 125 channel limit on tuners is a "cable-ready" thing. Myth can handle as many channels as you can throw at it. If you are using satellite or digital cable you will have to use the box proviided by your company... tuning it via IR blaster or serial cable. > 2.)Do you have to have the cable box / satelite reciever set up, turned on > and tuned to that channel that you wish to record, like a timed VCR or not? Short answer; yes.. see above. Myth will take the input from you cable box by S-Video for example.

I use Fedora Core 3 as my distribution and it work pretty well. I wouldn't recommend Debian for a Linux newbie as it can get a little rough around the edges.
