Tm600 or go HD?

Hi,

Here's the story, My parents are about to upgrade to Sky HD in the lounge, I have a multiroom sub to my bedroom (yes im 26 living and home with no gf ) Atm I have the standard sly box, cannot record and no dual tuners.

I can see a few options going forword, simply plug my parents old SKy+ box in my room and leave it be.

I could buy an additional freesat Hd box, room clutter though.

My fav option would be a linux based reciever, now I have found insructions on these forums to get my sky encrypted channels working on my HTPC, BBC HD and ITV HD.

What I'm after is the simplest way for a box to decode my white sky card, dual sat tuners, PVR and pref HD so I can watch the worldcup in the summer hassle free.

If I feed the box to my pc I can get bbc nd without buying a hd linux box, but then i will need to buy a second hd sat card for pc for £90. catch 22...

I just don't wanna spend £200 ona PVR HD clone for it to not decode my white sky card, theres a fair few f=threads on here wih people not being able to get them to work.

Any ideas?
