MythTV is looking like an increasingly good option

The BBC's iPlayer message boards are stonewalling when it comes to DRM, saying "It's the Lawyers! The Lawyers made us do it!". Convincing them of the utter futility of DRM is going to have to be the OSC's job. In the meantime, I think Freeview and a Linux-supporting DVB-T device will replicate as much of the iPlayer's functionality as I am interested in.
