I face/faced a similar dilema.

If youre a mac user you could buy the Elgatto eye TV (DTT) for £99 (apple website), record your own TV programmes then export them as an MPEG4 for use in the TCPMP (dont forget to change the sound from AAC to normal) Only down side is the files are massive and you'd only get about 1 hour per Gig! You may be able to use itunes movies within iMovie then export them that way, but of course you need to be a mac user (I'm a recent convert ... macs rule for anything multi media orientated!) Other suggestions involve playing around with Quicktime Pro etc etc. I think at the end of the day, despite the fact I have a nice X50V, I'll just buy an iPod for £220 and utilise the 30GB of movie space for my own tv recordings. QT Pro and Elgatto have iPod video export formats so its well catered for. 6 months later when a better solution comes out, ebay it and loose only £40! Your other 2 options are buy an Archos AV500 and Lost on DVD and burn yourself!
