An Athlon XP 1700+ is more than enough if you only have one tuner, if 
you tweak the recording settings, and you remove all the unused 
processes/daemons in your system. I can do 320x480 Mpeg-4 livetv with 
mp3 (quality 7) on my Celeron 1.1Ghz, you could try starting from that 
and slowly upping resolution, or quality, until you get something 
acceptable.
