The tuner cards came with remotes and a little IR receiver to stick to 
the front of the machine. I used those with the LIRC software and all 
was well. They seem to support button codes from pretty much any remote 
out there (or you can make your own config file if you want to move 
buttons around) - so you just need some way to get the IR signal digitized.

PIP worked, but it was really for when two shows you want to watch are 
on at the same time - that way you can record both. I read an article 
about a guy in Canada who set up a MythTV backend cluster to record 30 
different channels at once, IIRC.
