    OTA viewing/recording replacements

    Have you or are you using the pvr function in Jriver and how is it in your experiance. I was not aware of that functionality in the program until you brought it to my attention. I don't care copy once DRM. I get everything from OTA or streaming.

    OTA viewing/recording replacements

    I spent a whole afternoon setting up Myth in Ubuntu only to have the db become corrupt after a improper shutdown due to a power outage a week later. Everything I have read, this is very common and you need to have it running a server with ECC ram connected to a UPS.

    OTA viewing/recording replacements

    Following this thread in hopes of finding a pvr replacement for WMC. I messed with Nextpvr in both Emby and Kodi in Win X and found Nextpvr very buggy and not usable for me. Ended up reinstalling Win 8.1 and WMC for pvr functions until something better comes along for windows.

    To what extent do power supplies "age"?

    That's what I remember. I did not matter what brand of caps were on the boards or PS. Every cap manufacturer was suffering from the counterfeit electrolyte that everyone purchased dirt cheap in 2003. I had a Antec 500 watt Earthwatts supply fail within a year and take out my whole entire system...

    Hauppauge 2250 on WMC vs LG Smart TV built-in tuner

    I don't why WMC sucks at this but it does. In the past I would just use the local Silicon Dust list that is no longer available. The last time around when I setup a 2250 in WMC. I installed the Win TV app included with the 2250 and it found all the open QAM channels. Some where in the...

    Replace the top with a cheap laminate counter top if you can find one at the right price. Also the base could use a good cleaning and coat of fresh paint since its looking pretty scuzzy.

    Anyone else unable to sleep a Haswell machine on Win 8.1?

    I had the same problem on both my machines after the 8.1 update. One was an Asus P8Z77-V with a 3570K and the other is Intel DH77EB with a 3450 so the issue expands past the Asus boards.

    Should I update to Windows 8.1?

    I don't see any compelling reason to upgrade from Win 7 granted the install is working fine. Yet I don't see any reason to install Win 7 on a new platform due to UI issues.

    You may want to take a peek inside before you commit to it. I had a Gateway given to me and I noticed when working on it that the front panel connectors used a single plug for the power/ reset and LEDS. You could break the plug and solder new connectors to it but that would really be two much...
