Yeah I was wandering about plex cause I know that those that used
Windows Media Center are using it as kinda a replacement. So you're
gonna get an HD Home Run Prime then? Yeah Sylicon Dust is 1 of the most
popular companies meantioned with the whole home theater PC thing. There
was also Ceton but I don't know if they ever were a thing in Australia
in the end. Shame on microsoft. Someone there needs some disiplin. They
shoulda just put their adult pants on, owned their errors and fixed WMC.

Hi!
I know there's been quite a bit of discussion of the Plex Media Player.
I myself am considering a use for the Plex Media Server and it looks as
though it may be all systems go with what I have in mind.
I have a Fetch TV Set Top Box which has served me well up until now.
The idea is that the box records my favourite Free To Air TV channels and
then I either play those directly from the box to my television or stream
from the box to another device say my mobile phone or whatever.
The Fetch TV box is getting a little long in the tooth now so I'm having to
think about a replacement box or system that will achieve the same sorts of
things as the Fetch TV box did.
Up until I rexamined the Plex Server again there didn't seem to be much
around so I thought I'd be with the Fetch TV box till its dying day which
doesn't seem too far away anyhow but I'm not complaining given the box has
run 24/7 for 3 years.
So Plex will allow scheduling of Free-To-Air programmes with a variety of
devices including those from a company I've not heard of before called
Silicondust.
Their set top boxes are network dependent so you, you connect the
Silicondust to your network, connect to an aerial, turn on the power and
away you go, the web interface is supposed to be accessible and that's where
you set the device up.
The box depends on NAS Storage being available on your network so you'll
need something like a WD MyCloud or similar for storage of the recorded
programmes, you could use a spare Intel Nuc or something similar if you have
one.
So that's one of the few upcoming projects I'll be exploring.
