I don't use one. There's nothing on TV that I want to watch that badly.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Netflix.
But, if I really need to record TV shows, MythBuntu, with appropriate hardware (HD Tuner card).

Tom Thumb was a bit strange.
The Ladykillers was cool.

Thanks. I was wondering if anyone dedicated a computer with a huge HD to do the job or not. Trying to come up with a scheme to record football games from the antenna. Er, that thingy that pokes up from the roof that receives TV signals.
Let us know what you come up with.
I've looked into some of the DVR boxes, but I don't like the idea of having to pay a monthly fee to rent one & some of the other restrictions. I have enough spare computers around that it ought to be easy to set one up appropriately (even if I have to make it a Linux box!)... if I knew what the heck I was doing...

http://www.ebay.com has a few USB supported devices and some IDE ones as well. I was wondering what would work and if anyone had tried these. Will the software allow recording and garbage like that?
I have a Panasonic DMR EH-55 recorder I have had for a few years. It has a hard drive (200GB), and will also do DVD, DVD Ram, SD, and some other stuff. I don't recall the top resolution it can do, but it looks pretty good. I don't know if a newer version is available, but I'm sure used units are around; and probably inexpensive since a lot of people have gone to using the DVR in their cable/sat box. The Panasonic has all kinds of features like TV guide capability, all kinds of timers and channel switch capabilities, plus stuff I'm sure I don't know is there and/or how to work it.

Windows Media does a fine job, if the PC is fast enough and has a tuner card. Mine works great on HD broadcast. Also use a non HD DVR for Comcast.
I don't pay for HD cable, it's $120 a month for basic + high speed internet. :shock:
