VHF/UHF frequency monitoring

Hi List-

I'm new to the list and have never done any radio frequency surfing with
Linux, but I'm a longtime (10 year) Linux enthusiast with a pretty good
understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum (no HAM experience although I
hope to change that soon) and would like to learn more about this subject and
in particular, would like to try and do something akin to what TiVo and
MythTV do for TV except with strictly radio on the VHF/UHF part of the
spectrum. I've been reading and noticed a receiver (PCR-1000) and linux
software to work with it. I've also read about GnuRadio and the USRP. The
GnuRadio/USRP route seems like it would offer the greatest long-term
flexibility, but I'm not sure if the combination would allow me to do what
I'm after in the short term.

Can anyone offer some suggestions to this linux-ham newbie on the best
hardware route to go with initially given my short and long-term goals?

Thanks.
