SnapStream's 6 Tuner Medusa PVR
Tivo is still king in my book, unless you want to go custom, and for that, the gang at SnapStream have created a 6-tuner PVR they call "Medusa". The cool thing is the whole system was built with off the shelf parts and their Beyond TV software (of course.)

The estimated cost of $1,209.93 was pretty impressive. Here's an excerpt: "Installing six tuner cards is no different that installing just one. For Medusa, we started by loading the PVR-250BTV Drivers according to the provided documentation, powering down the machine, and installing each card into its PCI Slot. After tightening all of the screws and plugging the power cord back in, we booted the machine back to Windows XP. Once logged in, we confirmed each of the 30 (yes thirty) driver installation prompts. Once we got through the prompts, all six cards were successfully up and running."
