Hi all,
I thought I'd post just to say that AT&T seem to be blocking the emails being sent out by the forum software at the moment.
I've emailed them asking to be unblocked.

I just installed windows media center on Windows 10 Home 1903 per @technodevotee 's post on 6/14/2019. I put it on a laptop with 2.1GHz Core i3-5010U processor with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB, 5,400-rpm hard drive. I am using a 2 tuner HDhomerun tuner.
When I use the HDhomerun app to watch tv it runs...
Last post
I assume that the TV displays in a different resolution to the laptop?
If so, my guess would be that the problem is that WMC can't handle the change of resolution caused when windows detects the TV turn off and switches back to the laptop display.
I'm not sure there's any way around that.

Well this/these posts explain a lot to me why my HDHomeRun Prime doesn't function.
It was noted that the last version of Windows 10 that worked was 1511, which sounds about right, I could use WMC up until then. As suspected I don't believe Windows 10 and WMC will ever co-exist for DRM use. So I...

Can you be more specific about these other things? There are probably ways to protect your PC in this situations also. I'll use the web browser as an example. There are plenty of browsers that will continue to get security updates that are compatible with win 7

No, Ceton ETH will not work in windows 10, there are several reasons for this including cetons drivers and playready, wmdrm among others which make the tuners undetectable. You could install a VM with windows 7 but even then you can only use for extenders.

Howdy,
My Win10 machine updated and broke WMC. It's a Lenovo stick 300.
I caught up on WMC/Win10 and found 8.8.1. Looked promising (I don't need tuners).
Well, it's only for 64 bit. The stick 300 seems to be *not* a good idea to update to 64 bit.
So, what do I do now? What is the latest version...
