I have  Haupage WinTv card.  I watch the shows back on my Sharp Zaurus
PDA, so I record at a pretty small resolution.  The cards seems to record
fine.

For software on my linux server  I use webvcr+ (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/webvcrplus/ ).  It is basically a web
fronted for recording TV shows.  For watching the shows back I use
mplayer.
