That USB port you see on the box it not for transferring video, it for sending commands to the cable box. Thus, it'll be no good for what you want to do. What you can do though is get a TV tuner card for your computer then plug that into your cable box. Then, with the right software you are turning your computer into a Tivo. I'm working on this type of project as we speak.

Ummm....
this didn't really answer the question.
You basically described a Media Center PC. If you buy Windows Media Center Edition you're all set.

People have been trying to do it since Cable COmpany DVRs came out and I have not seen anyone have any success doing it. (I do think it is possible with a Tivo though)

The next best option is to create a Media Center PC like homey described.
