: The quality of the TV-signal converted (by the MPEG-hardware on the card) into 12 Mbits/sec would be good enough. A single 120 GB harddisk than has about 22 hours of video storage space.
The DVD-burner I would use mainly ad hoc for saving the.mpegs on (to save a copy of interesting programs that would otherwise expire, meaning fall of the harddisks), so not necessarily to create DVDs for a stand-alone DVD-player.
Mainly for time shifting. I live in Amsterdam in The Netherlands. These are the 30+ basic channels we have here. There is also a Digital add-on system with some more channels.
I want my PVR to record every single one of the programs of certain types, such as movies, music shows, scientific, etc. Members of my family will have their own preferences. So that we can watch them even a few days later. Each type will have it's own percentage of (FIFO) harddisk-space, etc.
Practically speaking I think 4 channels could be the minimum, if a human would decide what (and what not) to record. But I want that automated, so this system will record a lot that will never be viewed at all. The modular approach makes it scaleable.

It enables you to automatically maintain your volumes by purging (parts of) it on regular periods. Besides purging, it's also possible to remove temporary files (e.g. files with.BAK or.TMP extensions) from certain or all directories on pre-selected volumes.
When you have shell-access at your ISP (or have your own *nix-mailserver), see myprocmailrc.txt about how to set aside spam (and other bulk-mail) by usingprocmail. It doesn't call any extra shell-processes, so it must be quite efficient.
The check on theX-ISP-SPAM-Warning:-header(that is added by my ISP)doesn't catch much. There is more than just spammers in the coded IP-ranges, for example M$ Security Bulletins are set aside as well: I read those once every few days byssh-ing to my ISP's servers and using mutt.
Of course this doesn't solve much. But it does win back some of my time and other limited resources. It's war out there.
And a new virus is born: an MP3 containing voice activation commands, taking control of your system and deleting all your files after having sent itself to all your acquaintances.

But how about MX-records? I mean e-mail-addresses with a mistyped doamin in them.

Nay, 1,048,576 bytes of ASCII data never represents more than 7,340,032 bits.

The WinTV-PVR-250 SP might be a good card for this (about USD 80). Will btaudio do?
