I use eyeTV on my Mac... it functions perfectly as a PVR, include program guide, and exports the recordings to iTunes for our AppleTV. Had it for years, still works fine.
Two things eyeTV does which a PVR can't do:
It is accessible remotely from an iPad or iPhone to show live TV, program recordings or play recordings on the iPad/iPhone, so if thy have an iPad stand you can watch something anywhere - in the kitchen, in the bath, or in bed.
It is also accessible remotely across the internet provided you have a fast uplink speed and a solid downlink on the iDevice. Just beware that you can blow the cap on the mobile account very fast this way, as you'll be chewing through a GB an hour.
