Mplayer can record from TV to a file. It will be interesting to see if the data rate to write to a USB flash device is fast enough to capture an hour long TV show. This example from the MPlayer docs.

A more sophisticated example. This makes MEncoder capture the full PAL image, crop the margins, and deinterlace the picture using a linear blend algorithm. Audio is compressed with a constant bitrate of 64kbps, using LAME codec. This setup is suitable for capturing movies.
