Should work... Single-link DVI has a maximum resolution of
1920x1080 at 60Hz (double the frame rate of 1080p30 and effectively double
1080i) while a dual-link DVI connection has a maximum resolution of
2048x1536 at 60Hz/1920x1080 at 85Hz. (Straight from the horse's mouth at
http://www.ddwg.org/dvi.html )
Note, also, that HDMI's video connection is--for all practical
purposes--DVI-D single link. And, HDMI was designed for ATSC High Def
signal transfer.

Agreed. If you just want an easy solution, go TiVo. If you're doing it
to learn about Linux, video, audio, MPEG (2 and 4 and perhaps eventually
7), NTSC, ATSC, ALSA, and much, much more, go MythTV. Or, if you're
really lucky, find a friend who wants a MythTV box and wants to learn
and have him/her build two. :)
