That sounds cool. XBMC looks like it has real potential, but still needs to mature a little. If you could add a TV in and use to do Sky+ type stuff, you'd be onto a real winner. If you could take it a step further, and add a web server and an interface to let you add programmes to the record list while you're away, you could ditch the VHS and DVD in a stroke.

Or you could spend a load of money on a Windows XP media centre edition PC...
