Alright so I'm gonna go with my old Tower that's kicking around for the File Server cause I want to use it as a File Server/Media Centre now.

My objective is to be able to stream/record 1080P or less quality content to/from my LCD TV via. Notebook/Shaw HD/PS3. I plan to do this with the following gears. A 1080P LCD TV, file server/media centre, notebook, PS3, Shaw HD Box, and possibly a TiVo (If I cannot record programs onto the File Server directly from the TV).

What's the best way to achieve this using the following gear?
I looked into getting a Shaw HD PVR, but the problem with that is, it lacks HD upgradeability. Is it possible to record HD content from my TV to my file server? How can I do this?
