Is there any other way to get Windows Media Center (sic) for Windows 8 other than buying the Windows 8 Pro Pack (i.e. cheaper than £99 and still legal!)?

XBMC?

There's a few alternatives.

I'd like it for playing live TV through the built-in digital tuner (its an all-in-one). I've used the Live TV player in Media Center before, and tried a few stand-alone programs..... but Media Center seems to be the slickest way of doing it.

Cougar - actually, there's a couple on your list I've not tried, so might give them a bash before spunking the cash. Thanks.
