Windows Media CENTER users, what do you use it for?

[TheTick077]

I only use it for DVR and I use Kodi/XBMC for my ripped DVDs and TV shows.

DVR, Netflix/Amazon Instant launcher, Movie/Music/Photo library

OTA DVR. Not sure what I'll do for that in the future.

I'm planning on riding WMC out until it's no longer possible on my main TV. I haven't tried exploring future options yet due to not having any time...

My main use for it is for DVR purposes along with my HD HR prime

I switched over to OpenELEC, and havent looked back. The only real issue is my HDHomerun is not supported by the HDHomerun add on. I have to figure that out before football starts, but since I have the NFL online package I guess it doesnt matter that much. I was actually surprised how well everything worked. I think I only had to use a shell once, and that was to set a custom skip forward/back interval. And surround sound now works! I must have changed something when it was WMC and forgot about it, and just got used to stereo when using WMC. And when I used Plex on my FireTV AC3/DTS is downmixed. Kinda feels like I bought a new sound system.

Come to think of it, all the things I used to use the FireTV for I now use the OpenELEC box, except Prime Instant Video. I use the htpc more with OpenELEC than I did with WMC. WMC will not be missed.
