Yes MythTV will but you still need a way to get the video in and EyeTV is a hardware software solution.
Tivo is just such a nice service. I didn't get what Tivo really was until I got it with the DVR that I got from DirecTV. I don't think most people get it and this is why Tivo seems to be going broke. My neighbor has these really expensive DVRs that don't have Tivo and they end up going unused because it is a pain to set them to record something.
I also watch very little TV but it is nice to be able to actually have something that I do like when I do want to sit down and watch something.
I could see turning Tivo into a content delivery system. I'm already using it to catch PPV movies instead of going out and renting a DVD. I could see Apple doing for movies what they did for music.
