I'm not familiar with apple tv at all, but you're saying you're using a *buntu, so you meet requirement 1: run linux.
number 2: do you have (fully working) dvb drivers on there? see if the dvb tools work (cscan/tscan/...)
number 3: does your processor have sse or mmx support? cat /proc/cpuinfo. tvheadend uses it for the softcam decoding. if all your channels are free to air or if you have a working hardware cam, this won't be needed.
number 4: probably won't be a problem, but to be complete: is your hardware fast enough? an hd h264 is about 12mbit/s here and your hardware should be able to read/write that to your disk if you want to do recordings.
that's about all the requirements I can think of.
