I noticed some of the tbs cards come with a remote control? Is there software included that allows you to do everything you can do on a standard STB from the confines of your couch? If so, i just need a machine that has an HDMI out port??

DVB software leaves a lot to be desired. 
A lot of trial and error on your part is required when building the perfect HTPC

So, in the end, does it work??
I have a tbs6925 & the remote that came with it is infared. there is an infared receiver that has a receiver led on one end (which you have to stick it on something somewhere close to the card cause the cable is only 3 ft long) then plug the phono jack end of the cable into the card. I believe the remote then works as a windows device. I don't see a need to ever use the remote. I don't use the remote because all dvb software has the functionionality of the remote buttons in the interface gui so I just use my computers mouse. for example there are drop-down windows for setting up diseq motors & switches, favorite channels, and specialist menus for the blind scanning,recording scheduling etc. here is a pic of the tbs remote & cable. the remote has the basic stb function buttons like numbers,ffwd,pause,play etc. but it cannot have buttons for all you need the card to do. funny you mention software ... I did not see anything on the tbs cd but maybe the remote drivers are already a part of windows.
