It's really playback I'm interested in rather than recording.
The TV is an old Sony Trintron with UHF, Scart sockets and composite video inputs.

Users / Build/config for LinuxMCE connected to a TV
September 02, 2010, 02:51:06 AM
I have a SumVision box that I use for storing media.
I hate the interface and lack of features and was hoping to replace it with a notebook running LinuxMCE, relegating the 1TB drive of the SumVision to simple storage.
I assume its possible to have LinuxMce display its interface on the TV (I just want to leave the notebook sitting under the TV table) by adding some kind of TV playback card to it, and I want to control it remotely.
I there a tried and tested build for such a setup?
FYI I am connected to Virgin Media cable and broadband and concievably I'd want to record TV from the cable from time to time - but this is not a major requirement.
