While doing this, I've come up with the idea of using the server to record programs off free-to-air TV to be watched on other computers. Does software exist which would allow me to program what I would like to record in advance? As the system resources are quite limited, I don't really want to use an X-based application. Would this kind of thing be possible on a Pentium 133 (simply capturing TV at approx. VCD resolution in uncompressed form, for later encoding) ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
