My home theater PC has a great DVR built in to the Windows 7 Media Center. The menus and guides are very elegant, much nicer than the ones on Uverse and I can record HD channels and view them on any computer in the world (thanks to Orb.com). I also have my entire music library, Pandora, Netfix streaming, and tons of video podcasts. All this without paying anything other than my internet bill.

I'm not saying this is a solution for everyone, but for my family it's been great.
