I currently have a Windows 7 HTPC with WMC but it is several years old and may need replacing soon. I mainly use it for recording TV (although the tuner is playing up), storing about a dozen kids movies and sometimes for EPL On Demand streaming.

What is the best option nowadays for recording FTA TV with regards to reliability, ease of use and value?

    I'm assuming it's not a smart tv?

    A set top box like this would work, https://www.jbhifi.com.au/tv-home-entertainment/players-reco…

      Thanks - no smart TV.

      There's no doubt the HTPC is the most versatile though.

    I use a Beyonwiz T3. https://beyonwiz.com.au/product-category/t3/

    I have a HTPC running nextPVR backend and kodi front end, with a couple Sony PlayTVs. Great because any computer or android tablet on the network can them watch tv.

    The playtvs have dual tuners so with 2 playtvs you can pretty much watch every station and record every station at once.

    I've setup my parents' HTPC with TV Scheduler Pro backend and Kodi front end (for playing only, not scheduling), Windows 10, PCI dual tuner on an ancient Core2Duo.
