Satellite is the only way to go, especially if you want Tivo/PVR functionality!

I agree.. I have Digital cable + DirecTV, and DirecTV is great.. especially the high definition channels. As far as PVR functionality, though, I think the best thing is to pick up one of the DVD-R drives with the built in hard disk (my friend just grabbed a Panasonic one). I like the idea of not paying an activation/subscription fee, and also being able to burn DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM disks.

Course, you'll need to figure out how to turn Macrovision off on your DVD player, but that is fairly trivial if you get the right one.
