Windows Media Center, i think it's an OS than turns it into just a media pc exactly like you want

why would you recommend a gui based OS for a machine without a screen.

linux

much better choice.

and you can simply telnet into it and manage it remotely from any machine in your house.

I can watch nearly every show online (legally) the only thing I haven't found a solution for is live sports.

not legal if you get rid of the cable but

I'm doing some remodeling work in my house and I had my tv and cable box unplugged for over a week and I barely even noticed. I downloaded my favorite shows online for the week which is what I usually end up doing anyway since I no longer have tivo

We cancelled satellite last year. First week without TV was like quitting smoking. But once you get past the withdrawal pains, it's totally worth it.
