(imho imho imho)

The cheapEST way would be two HVR-950s or HVR-1250s (figure $50-65 each), 
plus an nvidia card that does XvMC ($30).  Assuming your machine has enough 
usb/pcie slots to support them, of course.

If that doesn't work for you, then the next cheapest route is the HVRs on 
the backend, plus a UPnP front end that does high def.  I bought my ZyXEL 
for $100 with a rebate, $150 is the regular daily price.

A lot of people like the HDHR, but I just don't like throwing traffic on my 
network that I don't believe HAS to be there.  Add in that dual hauppauges 
are cheaper, and the HDHR was a non-starter for me.
