Is there a program in Linux, that allows me to save the TV stream to a file, then watch that file somewhat later, at the same time you are saving the program?
Yep, "cat". :-) (it does indeed work, but I think you'll want a little bit more comfort...)
There are hardware boxes that do this. You know, you are watching a program, somebody phones you, so you press a key, and later you continue watching from the point you stopped, while the box continues saving the rest of the program that is still on air.
VDR and MythTV should both do this. Both of them include very, very good interfaces - for watching TV, not necessarily for the integration into a normal desktop. In order to do this, you'll probably have to use some kind of plugin letting you use e.g. Xine to simulate the frontend device. -hwh
