You can buy HDTV tuners, too...
You can't actually buy Windows XP Media Center Edition by itself, you have to buy one of the pre-made PCs from specific Microsoft Partners. (Some people with developer subscriptions get a copy, but it's supposed to be for development use only).
But you can make a full-featured media PC by adding tv tuner cards & so forth.
There are lots of software interfaces to make it easy to operate with a remote...MythTV comes to mind, there are a few others.
Good luck!
