Video Recorder under Debian Help

I am getting ready to set up Debian Lenny for a video recorder with my HDTV wonder. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for where to begin....All I want is for this machine to be a backend, recording and saving videos to a Samba share that I will watch on my television through XBMC...I would prefer a command line or web based interface if it is available...I don't want to have to load X.

I haven't tread down this road yet, so anyone who would want to share their experiences would be helpful.

Thanks

I'd skip Debian (though I love it) and use Mythbuntu for this. You can just configure samba to share where myth saves the videos.

Well, that went way too easily. Thanks.

Yeah, having something that Just Works is nice...
