Windows Media Center offers a lot of buit in tools, if you don't go this way which is possibile, your going to have to use something like MythTV or some other software you will have to pay for in order to record tv. You probably need to do some research via google on building a HTPC, there are a lot of forums and web sites that have suggetions.

This is not something that you can really just decide to do without researching.

You need large hard drive space, you need a nice video card, you need software,

How would you control it? A logitech Harmonay remote or wirless keyboard/mouse?

All questions that need to be asked and more.
