WMC replacement - suggestions???
Posted: Mon Oct 07, 2019 3:34 pm
First not sure this is the best forum location for this post, so feel free to relocate it if needed.
I would like to ask the group what you are moving to from WMC?
I'm thinking of installing epg123 and don't mind the idea of doing this but wondering is it time to give up on wmc?
My pc is getting old I would like to get a new one or upgrade and I'm sure MS is going to freak out and not let me use the same windows keys on my new system. My xboxs I use for extenders are also getting of age. I lost one when MS did it's last update like last year it was a 4GB flash and I think the flash went bad because I set it to use a USB key which worked till the update requirement. Once that happened I could not install the update and had to switch to my last xbox 360.
Here is what I need.
A large OTA recording system with 2 to 4 tuners that I can centrally place.
Then a way to be able to play the content or live tv connection on a semi cheap remote hardware device. Up to 3 possibly. Nothing has to be wireless as I prefer wired connections.
I also want to reduce the amount to be paid for guide data. I don't mind schedules direct cost of $25 per year but some of these $5+ per month for eternity is not what I want to use.
My current thought is Mythbuntu with remote Raspberry PI's around.
Any suggestion and/or ideas??? I love WMC but I think it is time to give up on it possibly.
