Hi - I have a basic unscrambled cable box and OTA antenna, and I am looking for a PC-based application that will act as a PVR to schedule and record my TV programs. I would like the application to automatically start with Windows, and run in the background recording my shows.
My PC will be used for lots of other tasks, so I just want something to record and store the programs in a directory. I'm not sure about streaming, and whether the streaming would be playable by my network connected devices.
I have an old HDHomeRun connected to my antennas and network to capture the video.
I am also hoping for a free EPG service to schedule my programming, if possible.
Will MediaPortal fill my needs? I tried looking at XBMC, but it looked like XBMC was intended to be for a dedicated Home Theater PC.
Thanks!
