or keep both your tuners in in WMC and run the ServerWMC addon. Enable Live TV in Kodi and enable PVR-WMC client. This gives you live, recorded, guide, logos, scheduling all from within Kodi but occurring on the WMC machine (assuming your not copy-once flagged of course).

All MS would have to do is build an add on box for the XBoxone that would take a couple of cablecards and a slot for a HDD, they already have playready and the guide. I would think that this could double XBox sales and put a serious hurt on TIVO.
