Am I correct in understanding that, with the effective demise of WMC in Windows 10, I cannot upgrade from W8.1 if I am using a cable card with my Ceton to watch TV through Kodi (by using ServerWMC)?
I saw that that a few places online posted ways to install WMC on Windows 10. Has anyone tested to see whether cable card channels still work OK when that is done?

Just a silly question why would you leave windows 7 ?

If that box is dedicated to WMC then I'd strongly recommend staying on W7. There's nothing in W10 that will benefit you in running an MCE HTPC.

All of what they say above is true. However cablecard is supposed to work now with the mdl guy's wmc project. Check out their forum and ask them.
edit:
Also its possible to make the win10 popup go away.
yet another edit:
but DRM content still does not work on serverwmc/kodi

You can also use other backends on Win10 with your cablecard devices, like NextPVR. It'll give you the same channels in Kodi as the ServerWMC addon (ie, non-DRM channels).
