Any media streaming devices that also can act as OTA DVR?

I was preparing to embark on the voyage of figuring out if it would make financial sense or not to drop Dish Network at $47 per month for my 2 room DVR and replace it with a HTPC with a TV turner that can do HD OTA.

Before I go down that path I was wondering if something exist now days though that can tune OTA and DVR it for later playback?

I have a Roku already and overall it's a great device but the one thing missing is locals and stuff I can pretty easily get OTA where I live.

So basically a Roku like device that can tune OTA and save/record it.

Also I want a way to play back the content in at least two rooms. If that's not really possible then at least a solution that's cheap enough that I can just put one in every room that has a TV eventually but at least 2 to start.

TiVo does it, but it costs $9.99 per month for OTA only sub, it'll play back everything you can throw at it (via pyTivo - essentially if ffmpeg can read it - it'll transcode) - Netflix, Amazon VOD, youtube, RSS feeds, video podcasts, live365, pandora, a couple other things too.
MythTV build will run you more than the cost of TiVO + Lifetime sub.

1. A cracked AppleTV with Plex or XBMC (or a Popcorn Hour, or a Patriot Box Office, but they're ugly!)
2. PC in a back room closet with a tuner connection, antenna connection, network connection, big hard drive, and HDHomeRun, running Windows 7.

All done....
