In 2007 when I bought my new TV, I bought 2 HD receivers. Both of which costed me $200 each for a total of $400. I have been running those ever since. So if you figure the $400 investment + $5 per month per box (because I have a 3rd box running), thats over $700 or so for 3 years of use.
So running this HTPC system with more usability for the same out of pocket investment is ok with me.
You really can't look at a HTPC investment to be a money saver. Its meant to add features.
