The HTPC route will only work if you dont mind going from digital cable, down to analog, then back to digital which will have a quality drop on you HD channels. Digital cable requires a cable box and the cable box only outputs analog signals. You would have to record with the S-video port (the one component input card is $200+) and use an IR-Blaster to change the channels on the cable box. For analog cable however, an HTPC is great.
