Windows 10: Windows media center, yeah I know, there are other choices

I have TV on my computer since 1998, yep, 17 years. I've tried a few TV cards and a few media centers.

After all these years, I finally found the best ever solution that worked so flawlessly, HDHomeRun by SiliconDust. It worked really well even on wifi. I've used MediaPortal a few years and it was a lot less fluid than the HDHR with Windows Media Center. This application is so fluid, you press TV and it starts right away without much lag, all that in a really good high definition, even if a bit compressed.

And now this is gone *Mad

Ok I see many solutions. Virtual PC, Kodi, Emby, SichboPVR. So much choice. The other thread suggesting those applications is closed so I needed to start a new one.

Any chance that one of those application will work with my plug&play remotes ? Windows 7 Vista XP Media Center MCE PC Remote Control and Infrared Receiver for Home, Premium and Ultimate Edition: Amazon.ca: Computers Tablets

NO Media Center to be Added to windows 10

I did not want to answer that alert during the upgrade to w 10. Anyway it did not give you a choice. without doing anything it continued the upgrade. I use Media Center to view the TV program Guide, record TV and playback. This is not offered with the new
App. I am thinking I should go back to 8.1 pro.

 

WMC in Windows 10

Lets see Media Center an all in one media program. Windws 10 three or four programs to do the same as one Media Center. They are listening yeah right. lol lol

 

Oh !!!

Microsofts discontinued Media Center suite can now unofficially be installed on Windows 10

 

Exactly, ohh! *Biggrin

That's what I read yesterday as well. I don't know if it works, but the developers have a forum where I guess you can also submit bug reports, should you have any issues...

 

Tested, application starts fine. Need to test with my HDHomeRun

 

The guys at MDL have done an excellent job porting the WMC files that were in the Win10 release that still had them and activate it with Win8 files... We were wondering ( or perhaps hoping for the best) why those files were still there for a while, until they got nuked.

PS: It requires legal activation to work properly - it's not an exploit.

 

I have it installed on windows 10 pro, and so far no issues.

 

Are there any compatibility issues with those ebay's after market remote controls in Windows 10 64bit?

 

No, it works perfectly
