I know MythTV has a plugin called StreamTV that allows you to capture
streaming broadcasts. I don't think the hardware requirements will be as
high-end as you think - I doubt streaming video on the internet will be
more than the 2200 kbps that my MythTV box regularly captures, and
that's on an old Celeron 700 MHz with 512 MB RAM.

My s.o. of 22 years (!) standing is a fanatical ice skating fan.
This fall there is supposed to be coverage of some or other ice
skating competition available on the Internet, but not cable or
regular TV.
This leads to the following questions. What hard- and software
does she need to record video off the Internet or cable TV, edit it,
and then burn DVD's?
I know she needs a humongous hard drive and a DVD burner. I also
suspect a fast processor, maybe a multi-processor box, but now fast
and how multi?
I just don't have a clue about any of this.
My own Linux box, put together to do audio, has an easy-to-open
case so I can swap out /dev/hdb, where the WAV files reside. We think
that would be a good approach for her, too.
Thanks for any light you can shed.
