I have had the same thoughts myself and bought Hauppage WinTV card for
my SuSE system.  I had no probs setting up and use Kdetv, which does a
very good job of auto detecting channels etc. My main reason for wanting
to record, was to digitise my collection of video8 home movies, so that
after 10 years I could free up some tape and finally get round to
editing them.

Two Problems apart from not being able to record, 1) The X server has to
be restarted to get a picture after using a video player - Mplayer.   2)
My wife and family are hogging the screen, so the Mythtv/Mysql setup has
ground to a halt pending user time being available for me!
