If by "tv viewing", you mean just watching live TV
without the ability to pause/rewind/FF/etc, then
www.freevo.org might be a good fit for you. As
others have pointed out, mythtv is always recording
when watching live TV, which is how it gains
the ability to pause/rewind/etc "live" TV.
With Freevo, you can also use an old DXR3 card
hardware MPEG decoder to assist your CPU
and do TV out.
