    If you don’t need LiveTV DVR functionality both XBMC and Boxee (Note: Boxee is a fork of XBMC) can offer more flexibility than SageTV or 7MC.

    – Both are free, SageTV is not
    – Both are open source and cross platform, neither 7MC or SageTV is

    I have Boxee and XBMC running on old Gentoo laptops that I would have otherwise donated since they aren’t powerful enough to run 7MC and I can’t stand using XP anymore.

    Just to clarify, SageTV is cross platform.  It will run on Linux, OSX, or Windows.

    Boxee and XBMC can also be run on a AppleTV, though the AppleTV will not run HD very well.  Boxee is coming out with a set  top box based on cell phone chipsets.
