Looks interesting. I wonder if the UI is Free, and if it is how easy it'd be to get it running on a higher spec machine.
If you're only interested in the UI, have you looked at mythtv? pretty spiffy pvr solution which probably can do more than the hisense can. It supports recording tv based on schedules, playing videos and music from any mounted drive (as long as you tell it to look there), dvds, remotes via lirc and you can choose which players it uses (or use the internal one).
for the lazy option, install ubuntu then the mythbuntu-desktop package. whether you chose ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu or whatever, make sure to use gdm if you want the autologin feature to work from mythbuntu control centre (if you use kdm then you have to set it in the system settings). if you're having the box as a dedicated media centre, xubuntu is probably the best option since mythbuntu-desktop makes use of xfce too.
