The best solution I have found to date is a bit more home brewed. I could never find a box that did everything I wanted.
Nowadays I have a NAS which houses all my media and other files, and in the background it runs DVBLink software that uses a networked tuner module to record and manage TV shows straight to a share on the NAS.
After that we have home theatre PCs running Kodi/XBMC which includes TV front end software to watch what we have recorded.
The TV shows are recorded as TS files that can be copied on to various devices and played back by any device that supports the format. There is even software available to get an iPad to decode the TS format and play them over wifi
Funny enough, after spending a long time making it all work to the point that it passes the wife acceptance test, we now record and or watch so little free to air TV that had I known I never would have bothered. It is all our own media and the likes of Netflix nowadays.
