Any "out-of-the-box" PVRs or "digital VCRs"?

[Walter Dnes]

  I'd like to record HDTV off the air. I've got an HDTV tuner hooked up
to my 19" NTSC TV.  The picture quality is stunning, even on an analog
TV.  I'm looking at getting a real HDTV after the Superbowl, as prices
continue to slide.

  So my question is... can I buy a ready-to-go PVR that works
out-of-the-box?  I'm not picky, as long as it doesn't involve a
subscription, like TIVO.  I want to be in control of my own destiny.  I
won't be connecting to the internet with it, so even Windows is safe (I
did say I wasn't picky<g>).  I would prefer linux with MythTV or
whatever, but I'm getting too lazy to "enjoy the adventure" of building
my own, and I'm willing to pay extra to have it ready to go.
