I went for homebrew and build a MythTV box. People are starting to try and
sell pre-build Myth boxes (I think they're shuttles) for around $900, havn't
got any links but check the Myth mailing list
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/

A friend use TiVo which he loves, although there is no support for it now
and you'll have to buy one second hand. I've seen Thompson boxes in dixons.
Expect to pay, what £200-250 for them. Both wont do music or other cool
stuff.

Cheers
