If my providers DVR had larger hard drives (or at least the ability to add an external) and multi-room viewing, I'd stick with that. But for now HTPC is the only way to go if you want your recordings available in more than one room.
You'd think they'd figure out how let their boxes talk to each other.

so you still have to connect this to your pc. does anyone make a stand-alone PVR these days that doesn't require a monthly fee and isn't an HTPC?

Agreed, what good is a HTPC?
(Other than being able to add space whenever you want, organize your media with whatever frontend you want, and burn movies to recover space)
...But still!!

Not to mention multi-room viewing.
