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)
