I set up a new HTPC few months ago , one thing you should be ready is
for a lot of problems with setting it up.
I preferred the Debian solution used both XBMC and Myth both worked both
had proms and cons i preferred Myth in the end.
The problems are less with the DVB but more with syncing the remote with
Yes remote (I had problems with it) , and making the MSI 8400 card work
with proper HDMI .

Are you sure that you understand what you wan't ? if you really just
wish an HTPC with YES decoding abiulity :

I don't remember the name of the person that sell them (but i remember
that he was one of the old generation of linux in IL) but there is a
specialized  hardware and software that is soled in isreal and allow you
to do it (some where near netivot).
As i remember they use DreamBox software (Just another linux distro).

Be aware that some of the employers are on this list and on cert.org.il
and nsp-sec forums so any of your disclose info will be put there.
