I'm in Australia and I have a Windows 7 PC running WMC but the latter is starting to show its age with inability to display some video file types (for which I use VLC externally) and so I want to replace it with "something" and I am open to either a software or hardware solution or a mix...

I have been running a WMC to record cable tv for years (with a cable card). I initially used WMC extenders, but then switched to PIs running Kodi to other tvs in my house. I've dumped Comcast and went to AT&T for internet and want to get a streaming service. The issue is I would like to...

I am thinking of getting this set and become an owner :)

I have been using WMC with MyMovies to manage my movie/tv series files. I have a lot of mp4 files and such. I notice the WTV files from WMC has a lot of metadata/tag data while my mp4's seem a little boiler plate and not really equipped to handle tv shows/movies well. Is there a way to batch...

WMC HDCP issues with a long cable run Admittedly, I am slightly beyond the specifications of the rated HDMI cable I am using. But it is working in most cases. I didn't read the fine print. And I don't wish to spend anymore money this season. You know WFA issues.... So I am at [email protected]

Hi all, So I've been thinking about doing HTPC for a long time now but never pulled the trigger. I finally figured out what I want from it and need a little advice if this is good enough to rid myself of charter's STB expense. 1. The main purpose will be watching live TV and recording. 2. I...

Howdy. I have been searching this forum and others but do not see threads that directly addressed (or resolved) my symptoms. I built a dedicated HTPC to run like an STB (leave it running and just turn the TV/AVR off), and plan to run XBMC because of its integrated GUI (TV, Movies, CDs...

I have been searching for an inexpensive slimline receiver with HDMI inputs and either stereo or 5.1 sound, and there's almost nothing out there. The Marantz or Cambridge Audio slimlines are overpriced since I'm not an audiophile and only want to tie a smart Blu-Ray together with a cable or...

Hello, I have a windows 7 HTPC, running Windows Media Center. I have 3 extenders, 2 Ceton and 1 XBOX 360. I also use My Movies to organize my movie collection. When selecting a movie in WMC, the My Movies interface allows you to watch the movie's trailer, which it will go out to the internet...

Hi guys and girls. There's a couple of spots on the forums that this may belong to so I'm hoping I'm posting this in the most relevant area. I am looking to cut the cord. My plan is to get 1 or two HD Homerun duals and plug them into my Gbit router using OTA antenna. I already have a PC to...

Background I have been using TiVo for over a decade and I think for what it is it has performed nicely. Overall, I have been happy with its beyond simple interface and rather complex (conflict resolution, etc) DVR features. I'm OTA only so obviously I'm only concerned about such and 99% of my...
