It won't have a RF tuner compatible with Europe so you wont be able to pick up / record live Analog TV.

It doesn't have RGB input, or component input, just NTSC composite. So you wont be able to record much, at least not in colour.

It's going to suck really badly.

[Edit: Update]
Ok, it has an SVideo input (NTSC only) so slightly better quality B&W recordings :-)

You would be much better off making your own HTPC with a DVB card.

Just buy a cheap tvtuner/dvb card for your pc and you will have the best pvr ever.
You can even record digital broadcast stream if you have a dvb card, which means there will be zero recompression and no loss of quality. With that PSX box you will both suffer from digital-analog-digital artifacts thanks to conversion from analog to digital and recompression.
