Once a month I skim through a webpage created by the software and click 
"record season" on anything that looks interesting. Then it turns up on 
a smb share by magic in mpeg2.

It's a different way of watching tv, but I avoid all adverts, can watch 
it on the laptop in bed without waking the wife, even take it with me if 
I'm on the move. I can watch stuff live across the lan and 
FF/pause/rewind much like sky+ does.

It's not all roses - setting it up can be tricky, but it works well 
enough once done. The big problem for this list is that the software I 
ended up with after trying most of them is gbpvr, a windows app...

Sorry!
