Throughout all of the plugins I have looked at since using WMC, MyMovies stood out as something that had a lot of really cool features (inlcuding disc changer support!!) but since WMC hasn't been included in Win 10, MyMovies has been abandoned. There is an offshoot of MyMovies that is being...

I certainly appreciate all the feedback, and all the great info.

What I find interesting about the SiliconDust HDHomerun is that the physical box does all the recording. Whether you use their app, or a different GUI that talks to the device via the API, the box still does the recording. So even if...

Hello all,

I've been running a media center server/satellite HTPC setup for many years now, basically ever since the original Ceton 4-tuner CableCard tuner came out. I'm currently running a pair of HDHomeRun CableCard tuners with my cable provider, on a server machine that runs NextPVR and Kodi....

I use Macrium Reflect (free) for weekly backups. I've had a few screw-ups with WMC installs on 10, but with Macrium your system's back to pre-install in about 20 mins. I have WMC on 2 1803 towers with HD tuner cards, but I've no experience with laptops.

Silicondust just announced a streaming package that is only compatible with their OTA tuners. If I'm not mistaken the big hold up in WMC 10 is cable card discovery but OTA works fine. I asked the direct question in that thread so i guess we will see.
