Short answer: Yes.

I'm using the SCART output for Composite Video to the Composite input of 
my DTV1000T but the video leaves something to be desired, but I don't 
think the kids mind. Same SCART output for stereo audio goes to my line 
input on the PC for reasonable sound. It gets put into a NUV file with 
MPEG4 which MythTV and VLC seem to understand fine, but avidemux seems 
to have problems with.

It took me quite a while to sort out Shepherd and mythfilldatabase and 
while it works, it could probably be better. Then some more time tuning 
the analogue channel because giving up and going with the composite into 
xawtv to get it sorted. Then came the channel changing.

So, it's been a couple of years in elapsed time but it's working now. 
Others seem to have done it and probably quicker.
