My current HTPC running windows 7 and windows media center is on its last legs. I was really hoping the xbox one would work as a wmc extender and breathe new life into the zombie that is wmc.
Ideally, all I want to do is stick my wmc server in the basement and use an extender in a couple of different rooms in the house. I don't want to use a big old xbox 360 which is power hungry and slow to turn on. Everything I've read is the ceton is slow and sucks. ALL I WANT IS TO RECORD/WATCH OTA TV. I've got a few HD homerun tuners.
WMC center is long in the tooth. Mediaportal seemed promising but getting the TV guide to work is so maddening I gave up. Is nobody really using HTPC's? Am I resigned to pay for cable or satellite?
