View Single Post - DirecTV or Dish Network???

Ok, now it gets more confusing...

I could keep cable, get a Tivo box and use the multimedia functions of the new TIVO2 box. But that cost more per month and cost more initially.

Back to the HTPC option... This would work, but how do you deal with either a sattelite tuner or even a calbe box tuner with an HTPC? How does the HTPC change channels?

I want one thing to do everything and do it all simple, efficient, and easy to learn. This is obviously more difficult then I thought.

The standalone Tivo box will do multimedia from the network, control a cable box and satelite,

I guess I am just thinking outloud here...
