Yes.

My Pinnacle PCTV-PRO works great, It let's me capture media in MPEG1/2 & DivX.

I believe that ATI cards come with a built in tv linkup.

You can also get usb versions if your not keen on getting another vid card, or opening up your machine:

Check out ATI's All-in-Wonder series cards. They offer the ability to watch tv, record (like Tivo), and even schedule a recording. They even come with a remote control.

plus with the right software you should be able to get the same fetures are sky+. Such as pausing tv for later viewing

Depending on what you're trying to do, you can also connect a filtered video source to the CRT directly via BNC connectors
