Does that require a tv tuner card? Or is it streamed?

| TV tuner card (required for tv functionality) |
I have often wanted to watch my tv programs on the go, let along record them on my home pc. This is the scenario:
1. Set up a Media box for your home sattellite or cable connection using Linux and MythTV (My open source media box suggestion)
2. Take a PDA with a wireless internet connection (I can get 800 mps connection everywhere in the Seattle area) and add NX remote desktop client (check out www.nomachine.com) (possible Sharp Zaurus or IPAQ models).
3. Add NX server (as an open source core fan, FreeNX from sourceforge) to the set box
4. Sit on the bus and watch the latest episode of the Sopranos on HBO as the other commuters wait for the day on demand tv is available over the internet. LOL
If anyone ever tries this it would be nice to have a reply.

The best software to watch and record TV, atleast according to me, is the Chris TV software. This comes in a limited time trial, which you can upgrade to the full-featured version by buying it. It also comes in a freeware edition which allows you to watch TV but doesn't provides the capability to record it. But, then do try the time trial of this software. It's great.
