I have a PowerMac G4: PowerPC7400, 2x500MHz, 1GB Ram, ATI Rage 128PRO 16MB videocard, Mac OS X 10.4

I want to know if it is even possible to turn this PowerMac into a DVR by connecting my coax cable (which I believe is a mix of analog/digital cable signals)

WHAT HARDWARE WOULD I NEED?
WHAT SOFTWARE WOULD I NEED?

Please be SPECIFIC.....

computers are bad mediacenters, they have to boot, configured, and need to be controlled by mouse or keyboard. it sucks. they always let me down when i had a friend coming over to watch a movie. thats why i bought a hacked game console (xbox) for 90 bucks which plays all without asking questions.
