Has anyone setup MythTV to record TV shows?

I've been experimenting with MythTV for a few weeks with various media formats, but I'm quite intrigued to see how TV recording works.

Most of the tutorials I've found are based on US TV, apart from myth, are there any other apps that are good for recording from TV / Freeview?

If anyone has this setup, can you let me know what TV card/apps are best?

I have a Myth setup, originally I used Fedora and installed by hand, but recently tried MythBuntu, wow! I didn't really have to do anything but wait for it to install, it detected my hardware and configured it automatically. As for channels, I answered all the questions from the installer, and it just worked.

I have two cards, I use a Nova-T PCI for terrestrial TV, and a Nova-S for satellite, although I have not set this one up yet.

As a side note, the MythGames plugin works a treat with sdlmame, and I have an X-Arcade dual joystick, which makes 42" Defender heavenly! :)

Cheers.
