Try Kaffeine ..
If you tv card is digital it works a treat has timer functions ect
ect ect i use it all the time
if your card is an older Analogue job i never had any suceses with
recording at all

The next question might be, "what tv card do YOU use?" I would guess
most cards sold now are digital? Kaffeine is quickly becoming quite
the do-all media player. Thanks for the tip!

Hey There!
As someone who has been recently very interested in PVR\DVR technology.
I can assure you not all cards are equal and not all digital cards
support digital cable tv.
what you need to look for is 64\256 QAM usually a card that carries this
standard also carries digital cable capabilities. Most cards right now
hide the fact that there "Digital HDTV" is the "Over - The- Air" type,
My suggestion for anyone looking into PVR tech this year (in the US) buy
a cheap KWorld card , they have hardware encoding\decoding, digital
cable\QAM and a 40.00$ price tag. I say this because in 14 months the
market will HAVE TO INCLUDE digital cable support. Which does not
guarantee the cable companies will broadcast all un-encrypted signals on
the wire like they have to now by law, that law ends with the beginning
of Digital cable-HDTV in Feb 09 At which time they are no longer
required to convey any unencrypted programming at all.
Good Luck
JT
