Windows 10: Windows 7 user needs a Media Center Replacement.

I have 2 machines with 2 TV Tuners running Windows 7 Ultimate for the media center. I have looked at the possibility of going to 8.1 Pro and using some Media Center keys I have but feel my best bet is to run Windows 10 with a local account with a version of Power DVD that plays DVDs and Blu Rays and I can also stream stuff from a browser. What I need are some recommendations for a program that will record TV from the over the air stations and play them back with a 10 foot screen resolution. The program does not have to be free, I don't mind paying for the listings etc or the developers time. I just want it to work. I have a machine that runs 10 from time to time with all the apps removed so I don't want anything to do with MS store unless something is outstanding. These machines are for playing media via browsers and Power DVD and also the TV software for the odd program I like to record for later. I need to get this done by Jan 20th 2020.
Thanks in advance
Tony

Windows 7 Media Center... Anyone?

If anyone is using Media Center in Windows 7... Can you confirm the support for ClearQam support? Have you successfully configured this with your TV tuner?

I've been putting off installing 7 because of this.

Any feedback would be great.

Thanks

Annu,

Thank you for your reply, but I am already aware of the information contained therein.

What I am looking for are suggestions as to third-party replacements for Windows Media Center, with an emphasis on sound quality.
