EPG123 is the only alternative. You have to get and annually maintain a subscription to Schedules Direct as well. Follow the instructions on the EPG123 site to install it and everything will go fine. People that have trouble typically didn't follow the instructions correctly.
What, instructions?...

You can find the list of CPUs that Win 11 will support ( and possibly only allow install on?) here:
AMD CPUs:
Intel CPUs:

Well, I'm in no hurry to switch to 11 anyway. I'll probably sit it out like I did Windows ME, 8.0, and 8.1.
I've pretty much frozen all my Windows-based PC/Workstation/Server builds to either Server 2019 or Windows 10 LTSC 2019 (1809 build), both of which have mainstream support through 2024 and...

For anyone who's interested, I've been using the 4-1 inteset remote for the past 5 years and it's worth the money. You can't beat the features of this remote for $25. It's well built, backlit and programable through the roof. You can find this remote on Amazon.

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...
