At the moment I am running a Windows 8.1 PC with server WMC + Kodi, with a 4x DVB-S2 tuner powered by DVBLink (UK Freesat). I then use other Kodi instances around the house (NUC's etc) to connect in so as to get the same TV experience, watched programs tracking etc. It works very well but their a few niggles I am not sure how long until the niggles becomes problems... DVBLink have changed the new version so EPGs costs more, Windows 10 may not have WMC in it and the WTV format is not ideal when watching a program while being recorded. I have looked at switching to something else in the past but it seems WMC mostly came out on top. The other thing is I don't want to spend hours breaking my media setup while I test different platforms so I thought the awesome people you all are could give me some options
What I would like is...
The wife needs to be able to use it (from Kodi)
Windows based
Recorded shows in a format which is more supported eg M2TS or MP4 to save any transcoding, as I may move it to my MicroServer
Series linking which works reliably
Easy EPG setup
Timeshift
The ability to watch a show that is being recorded and catch up to live.
I don't mind paying a little if needed, I own DVB Link 4.x and DVB Viewer (Is the backend to that any good?).
Thanks!
