I use my old pc w/win 2kpro dual boot for the data and burning software, so I just need an upgrade.

I think for XP you had to purchase a full XP Media Center disk, Media Center did not come with the basic XP. You may be able to download it from Micrsoft as an add-on now.

Although I doubt it. This is from the WiKi for it:
"Due to its strict hardware requirements, Microsoft opted not to supply Media Center as an independent retail version. Microsoft only distributed it to MSDN subscribers and original equipment manufacturers in certain countries.[which?] Consumers purchase Media Center preinstalled on a new computer, set-top box or embedded device.

Successors of Windows XP did not have a Media Center edition but the player itself came with Windows."

You can setup a Linix build as a DVR. http://www.mythtv.org/
