I've got a DirecTivo as well as Shuttle PC with an All-In-Wonder (terrestrial cable) in it. Plus regular satellite receiver that I'll be replacing with a PCI DVB-s card in the computer. I'll likely run MyHTPC as a front end to this or that TV softare. I've been running ony the ATI SW without a front-end media library program which just doesn't cut it to give that consumer interface. There's a ton of free-to-air content in the UK that you can pick up right away with something like a Hauppauge or Twinhan Vision Plus card (provided you have, or mount, a dish )
