Well as soon as I can successfully buy a second TV tuner that works with 
Linux, I will have!  Even at the moment my dvbgrabber script scans the 
xmltv.radiotimes.com lists every so often, matches some regular 
expressions and schedules recordings based on priority, with a bit of 
guesswork to exclude repeats, and I've got more episodes of Never Mind 
The Buzzcocks and Sign-Zone versions of Top Gear queued up than I 
actually want to view, ever, as Douglas Adams said about VCRs:

"Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother 
of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for 
you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself..."

If anyone wants a PCI DVB-S2, USB2 DVB-S2 or PCI DVB-T card which all 
work fine with Windows please make me an offer :)
