Myth's recording schedules aren't in crontab. The backend server process handles firing off recordings. I don't believe there's an (easy) cli way to schedule recordings. But that's what the frontend and mythweb are for. > The box needs to operate totally > headless, only CATV, network and power going into it.

Piece o' cake for the Linux and Mac systems, there are native frontend clients for both. Windows is a bit more work, there's no native frontend client, but you can certainly watch the recorded files. > Next, I want to be able to watch live TV (when not recording something) > across the network. Again, not a problem for Linux or Mac, but I think you're out of luck for live TV on Windows boxes righ tnow. > Now, from what I've gathered, this MAY be possible with MythTV.

For non-HDTV cable, the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250.
