Windows Media Center Alternative

Good Day,
Thanks for reading. The day has come that I am looking for an alternative to WMC. Getting it to work with my HDHomeRun Prime has become extremely difficult because of the DRM channels. I would settle for no bells and whistles but gets the DRM channels. HDhomerun software on a PC does not appear to get DRM. Tried everything. Just works on ipad or iphone. I would even pay for software. Thanks in advance.

If your use case is just TV and streaming, pick up an nVidia Shield Pro and use the HDHomeRun app and their DVR HDD. If you're using a movie library and want the BD menus, then you'll need a full PC and something like Chameleon Media Center.
