If you've got spare hardware laying around with good Linux drivers, I really
suggest you check it out - at least the live distro. The project is nearly 7
years old now and is pretty mature. Their discussion list is VERY active and
can be found on the main website.

Thanks Jeremy.

While I'm intimately familiar with Linux as well as various flavors of UNIX,
I prefer my entertainment system at home to just plain work without too much
tweaking ;-)

There's MythTV, but if you're not already comfortable with Linux the
learning curve is very steep. I would start with their live distribution
(CD bootable). There are other DVR packages out there too, some free, some
not, some Windows, some Linux.

I doubt any of them are as family friendly at TiVo.
