Hello, TGB. I've been a lurker for a few years, but never posted. Great website!
I came across something I had to share yesterday. I remember reading how Microsoft decided to discontinue WMC because no one used it. I've been keeping W7 machines around just for WMC. I just saw an opportunity to...

We're moving and taking two primes with us along with the TA's and CableCARD's. They didn't say a word about it when I called in to put in the move request. I'll find out next week if Spectrum still supports CableCARD but I believe they do because they haven't rolled out new boxes and they don't...

This seems to be gaining steam rather quickly. Lots of disgruntled HomeRun DVR Kickstarter doners are on board. They've started a community for the DVR project. Of course, no DRM support yet.

Thanks for the fact-check Space. I was guessing. Probably should have confirmed before posting. I am currently subscribed, but it’s been a while since I last paid it. I guess that makes it effectively $55 if you were an SD subscriber and can let that lapse as a result.
Still not a bad deal compared...

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).
