Gotta love the friendliness of open-source communities. Aside from the initial cost of the basic computer you build--$300 total maybe?--there is a service fee to download the TV schedules so it knows when things are on, but it's only like $15 a year.

Thanks. I'll have to look into this, and MythTV sounds promising. Once I figure out what TV to buy, I can move on to figuring out how to record shows now that my VCR will be worthless in a year.
