Sorry, I wasn't being very clear.

Put one of my SkyStar cards and the PVR350 into the 2 PCI slots that a 
new motherboard would have, and leave the 2nd SkyStar as a spare, sell 
it off, whatever.

Use the HDHR as my primary tuner (DVB-T) and handle the issues that 
switching to HD is going to bring, use the SkyStar/DVB-S to pickup the 
programs that would otherwise be scheduling conflicts, and use the PVR 
to grab the Sky only channels.

I'm the original poster.  I don't currently have a DVB-T compatible 
aerial, and none of my frontends are HD capable. Then we've got the 
extra storage space required as well.  These are all things I need to 
work through before buying new parts.  8)
