Yup, indeed.

Although the Xbox doesn't do USB 2.0, so you won't be able to do any 'really decent quality' recording sadly...

could potentially be done over a network using a computer with a TV tuner.  The problem is with writing the program to help the xbox communicate with the TV tuner over the network and dealing with huge bandwidth requirements.

Edit: But if you already have that, then why not just use the computer as your PVR?
