Ok Bluesuede thanks for confirming. That's cool, I want an excuse to build a media PC!
Having built two, I've now gone to none, although I still do have a PC that can record with twin tuners if I need to. The reality is the newer TV has a lot of the functionality anyway, so why bother duplicating on another device, which is potentially power hungry, when you can do the same with a smart TV and a NAS that draws 60W peak? And that's with 5 WD SE drives.
