I have tried using an AV O2 and my PVO Octane in similar ways. Both (but especially the Octane) are simply too noisy to have it running in your living room as a sky+ substitute. I compare them to the noise level of your average hifi component, and watching a movie with an sgi humming loudly in the background is no fun.
Besides (as detailed elsewhere and in the newsgroups) both analog video options leave a lot to be desired wrt capture quality and continuity.
I find it funny that those boxes are the dog's bollocks when it comes to uncompressed digital video but fail so miserably when dealing with low-end analog or consumer-compressed formats.
