To the case, soz - don't know of any....

To the solution - I already have one up and working - unfortuantly, it
is Windoze 2000 based (www.snapstream.com) - does anyone know of similar
software that uses linux?

Also, I have been a bit sneaky about the machine as well - my wife won't
let me have a pc in the lounge :(  So I put it next to the adjoining
wall, and hooked up an IR  keyboard/mouse arrangement through the lounge
- that part works a treat!

Considering the CPU power required to capture TV quality to HD, I doubt
u will be able to get away without some pretty substantual fans in the
system as well :(

Cheers,

Richie
