Do you get decent analogue reception? How does your analogue reception compare to the digital tuner? Have you tried recording multiple channels at once? USB isn't fast enough to transfer miniDV footage (which is why they usually use FireWire). I was wondering if it was possible to record two channels at a lower resolution/quality.

AndyG - I managed to get the repos all figured out, and dependencies are now sorted - with MythTV now working (backended on to MySQL as the database component). Sadly however FC9 doesn't pick up the USB gadget. Not bad for a first attempt however. HDTV Source - My laptop doesn't have any expansion slots left unfortunately and I also wanted the convenience of being able to use the HDTV tuner on more than one machine. I have a 2GHz processor, so it doesn't get slowed down too much :) Thanks AndyG and HDTV Source.

Does the USB slow your PC down while recording. Meaning does it increase the CPU usuage quite a bit? Curious, why choose a USB HDTV Tuner and not a PCI card?
