I usualy check out the Avsforum , they have a section on Home Theater Computers. I'm sure there are other forums out there also also. It's kind of a paranoid manufacturers' market because of piracy possibilities once you put digital content on a PC. In a year(May 05) all HDTV tuner devices will have to have digital rights management (DRM) honoring the broadcast flag incorporated in them and no one is positive that a PC tuner can give the necessary level of security required -- so we can't be absolutely sure anyone will be willing to build or sell one. The general reccomendation is to buy one before that date but only older models seem to be available. It could take some real ingenuity to record HDTV on a PC -- or Windows Media Center like software and hardware could pop up all over the place.
