you should give media portal http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net a try. i have used it on windoze and it works pretty good. has a mceish interface. i use it on my notebook which has an avermedia 2 usb tv card. i agree with madtw though on the card. for my money the pvr250 by hauppage has rocked. it does all the encoding on the card and only uses like 2-5% cpu. it a little on the pricey side, but worth it.
also, check here http://www.xpmce.com for windows media/tv stuff. lots o hardware and setup discussion.
you should give mythtv a try though. setup is pretty easy if you use the knoppix disto. all comes on the cd, just boot and answer questions...(more or less)
