    Mariano you might want to try out www.MythTV.org, also another good
    example would be the sourceforge project of Freevo. Mythtv.org has a
    lot of Debian developers so that might be a good place to look.

    If you do decide to build a box make sure your tv card supports Linux,
    also it wouldn't hurt to search out PVR on the net, and also DVR
    becasue they are called different things by some people.

    Anyway good hunting and good luck with your project.
