To those of you good people, take a deep breath and listen to my tale.
#The best windows for a media center os update#
I figure I’m on the tail end of converts from ye olde Windows Media Center, but I know there are diehards still out there lamenting their loss or maybe still fighting to get Windows Media Center working on Windows 10 in a post-April Update world. Now, I know the thought process above has to be similar to what at least some of you have gone through. I bet that if I document the whole process and write it up for TR, it’ll be exactly the kind of therapy I need to wrap this up and move on with life. Having just one computer in the living room instead of three is the kind of thing that will make leaving Windows Media Center behind sting a little less. You know, I could probably get rid of the gaming PC hooked up to the TV if I moved the video card into my home server.

I don’t even really need my Windows 8.1 PC any more-all I was using it for was Windows Media Center.

This HDHomeRun DVR software actually has some nice features, and it’s really nice that the app runs on all our tablets and phones.
My OTA channel selection is super limited, and the way things are going, Survivor is probably going to be spoiled before I get around to watching the new season. It was so much easier when I could just pay one bill and do it all myself. Every single show is a choice between spending money or watching commercials. In fact, it’s probably better that way because I won’t have to watch commercials like I would if I streamed those shows from Hulu or something. That’s still sticking it to the man, right? If I stop paying for cable, I’ll save a lot of money each month, and I can use that cash to buy new seasons of the handful of shows I really want to watch. Well, maybe I can cut cable and just use Windows Media Center to record over-the-air TV. I can’t just give that up and be one of the normals. I don’t want to change how I do things or fight with someone else’s so-called “solution.” Plus, what else will work with a cable card? Using a cable card makes me super awesome and nerdy. It’s all the Xbox’s fault! To top it all off, all the other options out there suck. Everything is just fine.įreaking Microsoft! I still can’t believe they dropped Windows Media Center after all this time. Besides, all my saved recordings are already in. If I wanted to, I could even run the hack that lets me use Windows Media Center in Windows 10. I don’t have to mess around with any of that streaming nonsense or multiple subscriptions to network-specific content. All I have to do is pay for cable, and I can record all the shows I want with my HDHomeRun Prime. Windows Media Center is the best way to watch TV on my terms. Running Windows 8.1 so I can use Windows Media Center is totally fine, even if it’s 2018.
