Telewest, Freeview and a nice EPG with series link - what are my choices?   
I want to buy a PVR - but nothing does what I want.

It doesn't sound *that* difficult...

Must have:

- Telewest cable TV
- Freeview (one or two tuners)
- A nice simple combined EPG to handle what to record when
- Some sort of series link functionality
- only one remote control... a requirement from the lady of the house ;-)
- quiet
- reliable
- relatively cheap...

Nice to have:

- link to PC to save stuff for posterity, or on DVD
- second TV around the house, possibly on another channel/recording
- MP3/video jukebox from PC disks


So... am I going to have to build and tweak a GBPVR or MythTV box? Can I get 
the nice clean EPG across Telewest and Freeview that way?

Or is there an 'easy' option?
