I can think of two solutions right off,

simple - videolan
more complex - MythTV

My vote would be for MythTV--a much more powerful and flexible solution.
But, to just get video to the box the videolan client can stream from a 
webserver even--you could just set up apache on your server and you'd be 
done.

I'm sure there are many other FOSS solutions available as well.
