    thanks for the responses.  i am starting to lean more towards a WMC setup.  I have a couple of questions though:

    if i do not go with a cablecard tuner, are IR blasters the only option for controlling an external STB with WMC or is there a firewire type solution similar to what I have working in SageTV?

    Does WMC allow other PC’s to act as extenders?  If I want to access media files on the recording PC from another PC on my network does WMC act as the GUI or do I have to use a typical file manager (like windows explorer) to access the content?

    Does WMC allow for integration with streamed content, like netflix?

    Is there a way that I can check if my recordings would be flagged copy-once without actually getting everything up and running?  Would there be evidence of that flag in the STB diagnostics menus?
