TiVo is clearly the major competition here. TiVo has really good UI engineers and pretty good hardware, but their subscription prices are relatively high.
In open source land, MythTV already does everything better except UI and install/setup. Those are very large exceptions to random consumers.

Plex offers everything in a single package, with two distinct advantages. First, it's client/server and will stream your programs anywhere over the internet. And second, it has great fully supported apps for every platform under the sun-- and if you don't like the apps its web UI is fabulous too! But, not open-source or free.
