Agreed.

I'd also like to toss out a simpler method to getting into your own
DVR.  Why don't you take a machine you have now and install either
some form of MCE or MythTV on it, and then pick up a HDHR and see how
you like it.  Decide what you like better and then expand it.  The
HDHR is something that will be useful anyways and $119 is easier to
drop and mess around with things than $1600 or whatever your current
price tag is.

The current $119 price at newegg is fairly good too:
