[mythtv-users] Is a packaged solution or easy howto for this need in existence?

[Jeremy D. Newton]

Ok... I live and work in outside the US and want have access to my
favorite shows.
 
So here is my thoughts.  I have read through the MythTV site and want
some feedback please.
 
Is there a complete packaged solution to put on a box with a pvr-350
card to record my desired shows.  Having set this box at a location in
the US connected to either DirecTV or cable and of course the net.
Then, I can access the box remotely to schedule recordings and pull the
recordings off the box to a local machine for viewing.  I would likely
schedule the transfer of shows from the box to where I am.  Is this
possible?  Would it take something more than MythTV?  Also, does MythTV
automatically remove commercials?
 
I see mention of multiple capture/encodes simultaneously...  What's the
limiting factor here?  If I want to record two shows at the same time,
do I need two capture cards?  
 
What's the benefit of a pvr-350 over a pvr-250 -- especially since I am
really only wanting to encode on the box and not playback.
 
Thanks for the help.
