I'm in the process of building a Personal Video Recorder, using:-
Shuttle SK41G
Athlon 2000+XP
256Mb PC2100DDR
60Gb ATA133 7200rpm HDD.
My question is, How do you connect a sky digi-box to the Shuttle, to record the digital signal? I know i need a separate card, but all the PVR advertised cards seem to use a TV tuner, or analogue satelite connection.
My aim is to record programmes to the hard drive, then edit the bits i want to keep, and then record them at near DVD quality to be played on standalone dvd player (Is DVD-R format the best one for this?)

Thanks for any help.

Thanks Steve that looks like an ideal piece of software.

But i'm still stuck about the sky digibox connection.
Does anyone know if it's a case of just getting a graphics card with comp-video or s-video input & output, or do i need a video capture card (idealy without tv or satellite tuners). The shuttle has TV-out built-in as standard.

Any ideas?
