Problem is, I live in technology, have countless projects going on at once so time is difficult. Sometimes it's easier to just buy it off the shelf. In this case, I really don't want to learn everything there is to know about building a pvr, I just wish it was easy enough to build that I could get it working, using it, learning as I go instead of up front. 

But, that's the way of this stuff and while it's difficult, it's also incredibly rewarding to tell your friends about how Linux is yet another solution :).
