I second this.

Freeview with A SkyStar2 card (and get the USB remote as it appears like 
a keyboard and you don't have to worry about lircd which is a HUGE 
ADVANTAGE IMO).
Then add Sky once your family gets used to the PVR way.

Have a look through the archives this month to see some of the issues 
which you might encounter around moving from a Live TV watching family 
to a PVR one.

The more stable you can make the system initially the better.

Good luck.  Let us know if you need any help =)
