Protected channel playback works on Windows 10 now for HDHomerun Prime: https://forum.silicondust.com/forum/view...92&t=64023

Still no DVR though.

I just saw the "press announcement" or whatever you want to call it concerning that. I've got my eye on it. I'm pretty sure they will get DVR eventually, yes? I'm just trying to figure out if that will work with my Google Home Wifi Router + switch.
Is there a front end to use with KODI for this? I can "hook" into it and get LiveTV back?

I have to admit that I did not even remember anymore that WMC was not included by default in Windows 8.1. I could have but my latest Windows 8.1 installs happened already couple of years ago, that time you could even get free WMC-keys from Microsoft. Did not know that those keys are not anymore available from MS, although not a big surprise.

If somebody happen to have an unused key and is willing to give/sell it to you, it should still work for activation. Additionally it seem to be possible to use Windows 8 Pro Pack to activate WMC in Windows 8.1 PRO. Those can be found for example in Ebay:

Or 8.1 PRO PACK:

Of course not a cheap solution just for the Media Center -key

Well I went ahead after I couldn't get WMC in Win8.1 and wiped out the SSD and installed Win10 and the WMC "hack" to get WMC on Win10. WMC works flawlessly on Win10 with that "hack". Unfortunately, I can't get my ceton cablecard to work in WMC. Not sure what is going on there. I've been researching like mad. I've read other places that people have gotten liveTV to work on the WMC/Win10 with the same Ceton CableCard that I have. But, they didn't mention HOW they did it or WHAT they did.
I just recently heard that it won't work after the Anniversary Update to Win10. WMC will install on Win10 but LiveTV / CableCard detection is broken.

So once again, conflicting information.

And, once again, I am back to square one: 10Bit H/W decoding but no LiveTV. I've spent WEEKS on this mess. LoL So have you all. It's crazy.

As this CableCard-issue is a US-thing, this Windows 10 WMC-hack has been working great in my setups in Finland. Hopefully will be solved.
