That is pretty much the idea.

It does Over-The-Airways (antenna) easily. For most cable you need an unencrypted signal which depends on the cable provider.

Meant for Linux.

Not supported under Windows, though drivers for WindowsXP are provided and dated instructions for building a WindowsXP DVR are here: http://bit.ly/8Yzykk

No, it does not have a TV out signal.

You should check your video card, it may have a TV out signal.
