Jellyfin could be a solution.

Do you want to use the machine as a desktop that also does DVR stuff or as a dedicated "set top box" under/close to your TV?

Jellyfin will work in some situations. It has built-in support for HD home run tuners and has DVR capabilities. However, HD home run only works with OTA or digital cable, not satellite. Also not all clients on all platforms support playback of live or recorded TV. For the right situation, it works really well but it's definitely not a one size fits all.
