I have a computer which I'd like to set up as a TV Recorder/Streamer (if I can get a card with hardware MPEG2 rendering/decoding whatever). I recently upgraded the hard disk, and it happened to have a TV Tuner card in it (trying to remember when I got it, hehe). Anyway, to the purpose of the post. Is there any free software (preferably free as in software, not beer, I like looking at the source, etc.), that will act as a Windows Media Center Editon substitute? I'd prefer not to purchase MCE, so I'm just wondering.

Thanks to anyone who knows!

    Use MythTV? It's open-source goodness

    I think I'll check out MythTV later, but it seems that Mediaportal won't work with my card.
