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.
