Record from TV Capture Card; How?

How would I go about recording from a tv capture card?

I got a KWorld ATSC 115 and it seems like the mythtv wiki has a nice guide on getting it to work with linux http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Kworld_ATSC_115

So what software would I need to record from the capture card?

Thanks!

I used to use xine. You set the directory in the config file and press F2 to start recording.
Haven't used it in a while, but I sure it's still possible

cat /dev/video0 > myrecording.mpg

Are you asking for an alternative to MythTV?
