It's a Hauppage PVR-350. There's 512M of memory and 250MB disk in the
box and yes, they have jcom cable internet.

It's running Ubuntu and it took about 20-30 minutes to find this page

and follow the instructions (with slight corrections, like fixing a
wget command). That got the ivtv stuff working without any hassle.

I don't plan on watching live TV with this as I suspect the connection
from Ireland to Japan would probably be a bit jumpy for that, I guess
I won't know until I try. Some sort of buffering would be needed,
maybe VLC would do the job, I'm not sure.

I'll be going home late next week so I'll know soon enough,
