Yes, but you'd only be able to watch on the RF output the same as
presented on the SCART output.... if you have a turbonet, you'd probably
be better looking at the direct streaming methods which let you watch
one show on the Tivo and something completely different from the Tivo's
hard disc on a PC.

I've not got the details to hand at the moment, it's been a few months
since I dabbled with this, seemed to work not bad.

Yes, no and maybe.... ;->

One of your main issues with this approach is likely to be getting Tivo
to change channels on the PC - does your card come with an IR input and
is it one on Tivo's list? (eg my analogue capture card an ATI Radeon
came with an RF remote, not IR) I *think* it's possible to get Tivo to
do Sky via SCART + freeview via RF - I'm sure people did that in the
olden days of On-Digital...... what other source are you using to feed
Tivo - Sky, cable, something else?
