My current setup. I have a small Media Center box that I use as a DVR for my main LCD television. This machine is an Intel chipset based Foxconn board with a 2.8Ghz Pentium CPU. It has 1 x 160GB HDD and a DVD-ROM drive. 512MB RAM. NVidia 7900 AGP 8x video card. The tuner is an ATI HDTV Wonder.
I am currently running Windows XP Media Center Edition on the machine. As such, I am running the "Kram" driver on the machine which allows Windows MCE to use the analog tuner AND the HD tuner without switching or rebooting. It works really well.
So here's my question(s). I am interested in converting to a Linux based DVR like MythTV. My concern is getting the same multi-tuner use out of the ATI HDTV Wonder that I get using the "Kram" Windows driver. Is there anyone out there with some experience with this or is anyone currently using this card as an analog AND HD tuner?

I could be wrong, but I doubt you're going to be able to get HDTV into an open *nix system at all since it's generally bundled with DRM...

There is the broadcast flag, which isn't vurrently in use. Otherwise, it's HD-DVD that has all the DRM junk ATM. So far OTA HD TV isn't encoded.
