I guess what I really want is a device that has a big hard drive, can

Preferably it would take a wireless network card. The recording side of
things is not so important.
Putting together a cheap (but reliable) PC with a video card that has a
TV-out port, running some form of Linux, seems one of the better options
because it is so flexible, except that I want something quieter humming
away in my living room. If it was more like a device it would be even
better.
How about the Hauppage Media MVP?

It's small, quiet, and even runs linux so you can set it up
as a mythtv frontend. :-) Then, just setup a big box in the
closet with as many tuners as you want and lots of hard disks
and you're set. You could even use multiple ones of these
all accessing the same backend to drive multiple TVs in your
house.

I saw this at radio shack for 79 dollars recently.
I have one, but I haven't tried to use it with mythtv yet.
