My recommendation would be to find the software you want to run on the machine, and then look at what they recommend to use with it.
MythTV
Sage TV
GB PVR
The three I listed are among some of the better ones I've seen/heard about. There are many more out there. MythTV is a very popular one. Read the specs to see what kind of decoder to get and what not.
