It's not just cable boxes, it flags shows recorded via HD capture devices too if you have Dish Network or DirecTV. So as is mentioned several times here, you can not watch your copy-once shows without it. There is no DRM support for open source software. The improvements made too it to change the name only benfit Linux users mostly and those that want to build embedded systems. I have used all other programs nothing comes close.Ĭorrect, I have used XBMC which is what it was before the name change. The best best setup is EMBY running on Media center.Īnd supports all formats along with a prefect dvd backup TS folder support. When i say does not support these programs do not support menu on the dvds correctly. TS folder is a driect copy back up of a DVD or blue ray dic. Plextor doses not support any DVD play back in format of TS folders
Media broswer classic does a way better job then Kodi but only support DVD play back if combinded with media center. Probly is KODI thinks it knows best and reogrnize my collection as it sees fit.

My biggest issue with Kodi was the UI - when u pick movies it forces it self to look up movie and update the data file instead of just using the image folder.jgp and background.jpg that i put into the movie folder. MC plays and supports DVD where as a TS folder where there is no other program that does, it also works best with remote and it is able it has cleanest UI for images on the folders. But Windows Media Center is the only option for encrypted television DVR functionality, and the only one with a proper "10 foot inteface" capable of being fully controlled with a single standard universal remote control. I myself use Plex to stream from the living room HTPC to other TVs in the house, as well as our tablets and phones. Sure, there's a dozen other alternatives if all you need to do is stream your non-"Copy Once" OTA recorded shows and your music and movie collection.

SiliconeDust is purportedly working on a CableCard approved DVR software for the PC, but as yet, it is incomplete, has not been officially release to the public, and lacks even something as simple as an on-screen program guide. There is not, nor has there been for years, any other option for this fucntionality. And it's not that it does it "so well." It's that it is the only thing that does "it" at all. The big "IT' that is missing from ALL other home media programs is the ability to use a PCI, USB, or network CableCard tuner(s) to watch and record encrypted cable television. I have been testing the HDHOMERUN DVR Beta software but I don't like it one bit. WMC plays recordings but it won't do live TV.

One of them is an ASUS T100 with 32 bit W10 and it's underpowered. I just made the WMC hack work on all of them but I am still testing. I have a couple wireless connections that have to run at 300 bps. Getting this to work smoothly requires 1 Gbit switches connected with ethernet cables across the house. I also use a Wii USB wireless keyboard on the XBOX. I use a WIndows Media Center IR remote control that handles about 90% of XBOX 360 functions. The XBOX also gives me an easy interface to my other interest which is AMAZON PRIME. I record up to 8 hours a day in football season and a lot of scheduled stuff off PBS.

My first main use is TV recordings from Comcast cable. HDHOMERUN PRIME delivers up to three channels on my network. I have an XBOX 360 WMC Extender driving my living room 40 inch TV.

I use a more or less dedicated old gaming Windows 7 PC that operates as a WMC server with a 3 TB hard drive and to deliver content to a family room 36 inch TV. Could it REALLY be the MP gui or the Kodi GUI? I have seem both and neither is so much better than a standard set-top box or a actual computing device to get that content. roku, western digital hub and streamer devices (could even pair these with a NAS if you have a huge local library like me), if all you care about is local content and web based options. Many options that don't require the administrative overhead and setup headaches etc. There are plenty less complex options for accessing local content and or web based content like hbo go, pandora etc. I am re-working my htpc options as I just bought a new home and no one seems to address this or care that our ONLY alternative to media center for getting cable provider content is GONE with Media Center. why not just buy any set top box or even better a rasberry pi/intel nuc/really any cutsey small form factor computing device with hdmi out, put the OS of your choosing on it and go STRAIGHT to the web based services web sites? or even better! download the app for netflix, hulu, amazon etc. if media center is the only thing that can watch and record comcast content then why are so many people happy with alternatives unless they don't care for cable content? in which case.
