Question #76743 on Ubuntu changed:

Status: Open => Answered
Derek White proposed the following answer:
If you want a full-featured, Tivo like system for your tuner, try
MythTV: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV & mythtv.org
For help with tvtime, the forums are full of a wide variety of posts
regarding instruction, configuration, and errors:
http://www.google.com/search?q=tvtime+year%3A2009+site%3Aubuntuforums.org
For help with tvtime try its man pages. From a terminal (Applications >
Accessories > Terminal) type 'man tvtime' (without the single quotes).
Near the bottom, there should be a listing of other, related programs &
files. You can usually do 'man tvtime.conf' or something similar to
learn about the configuration file tvtime uses.
lirc will get your infra-red remote control working:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallLirc/Hardy is the newest
documentation and includes instructions for mythtv as well.
Try running the program from the terminal ('tvtime') and posting any
errors it spits out.
Usually, hardware drivers (in Linux they are usually kernel modules) are
installed by default, but on occassion you might have to load them
manually. The tvtime/mythtv documentation should help with that. You can
find some useful documentation/information via the 'man
<program/configuration file>' commands or by opening the program and
going to the Help menu and selecting Contents (or hit the F1 key).
Point being: without any actual errors or anything to indicate where you
are having trouble, it is hard to help out. Running the program in the
terminal (as stated above) and posting any errors/warnings should be a
good place to start.
