CONCLUSION
On screen display while viewing a program
I have been using the Thrifty PVR solution for three months now. There is no doubt that it would be cool to have a super-sleek dedicated PVR computer sitting next to my DVD player under my television, but I just don't have the money or patience to put one together.

With this setup I have a fully functional media solution that allows me to record and view my favorite shows (Family Guy), set up a MP3 jukebox though my stereo for parties, show slideshows of my vacation pictures to bored friends on my TV, and even check my local weather forecast in the morning.
Overall, the resulting PVR is highly functional and easy to use, and the fact that I didn't have to put out $500 for the setup adds to my overall enjoyment.
