Win 10 and live TV (freeview)
So, with the demise of media centre, what alternative software are people using to view live TV via a TV tuner on a PC?

I think the most popular at the moment is Kodi.
You can install Media Centre if you want though. |
I kind of glazed over when I read through Kodi in trying to set it up, so tried Mediaportal. I was given the impression it was more plug and play (it isn't).
Again not plain sailing in setup, default skin is buggy, I have no EPG, all the channel numbers/organisation is screwed up (i.e BBC1 is on channel 52) and the tuner take ages to change channel and it throws a 30second tissy fit if I select a channel with no signal. Will have another bash at Kodi. Failing that the TV dongle came with some software, which I have installed....but it needs the serial number off the box for the original CD, and I'll be damned if I can find it. |

Personally I'm sticking with Windows 7 for the foreseeable (on my media PC). Shame really as for once M$ did a really good job of something with Media Centre. |
I've not tried it, but: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2015/09...in-windows-10/
Can't say I really miss it, but it was nice for free :D |
Probably missing something but tvguide.co.uk allows you to watch a good number of live tv stations for free
