MythTV is used by people all over the world.

I have used a TV capture card and MythTV to do this with the cable system
here in Canada. As long as Foxtel is transmitting a signal a TV can
receive I can't see how they can stop it.
It worked fine with 'basic cable'. I tried it with digital cable but the
problem comes when you want to change the digital TV channel. Solutions
do exist where you rig up a remote under the control of MythTV but it was
more hassle than I wanted :)
Cheers,
Rob
