Replacement for HDHomeRun Prime

[AFelectrngineer]

Ever since I installed a Hauppauge DCR-2650 on my new Windows 10 machine and integrated it all with NextPVR, I have never been happier.  Don't worry about Hauppauge's docs that say that the 2650 only works Windows 7 Media Center.  The DCR-2650 is one of the most cost effective ways to replace either internal PCI tuners or external HDHomeRun boxes.  I got my 2650 refurbished for $59 and I picked up a cable card for free from my local cable company office.  I was able to get the card integrated and working via the cable company's tech over a phone call saving the cost of an in-house tech visit.  And I'll just say that NextPVR is the absolute BEST replacement for Windows Media Center which I thought I would never be able to give up.

Thanks for short and sweet, no...

Just wondering given the quote posted above. Is there anything that works in Win 10, DRM CopyOnce protection, with ANY CableCard hardware device(s) and/or program(s)?  I did see a post from another member that wrote a  program available on GitHub (craigmox/cetonproxy) that apparently uses Ceton InfiniTV6, that emulates HDHomerun Prime tuners. Was that idea fully developed/implemented and working on Win 10? If so.... What are the steps?

Cablecard DRM has not been broken so no luck using any DRI utilities sorry. Some programs support DRM, SiliconDust DVR comes to mind but WMC would still work.

Yes, DRM CopyOnce works in WMC up to Win 8.1... Anything in Win 10 beyond v1511? Current Win 10 is v2004.
"Hacked" WMC installs on Win 10 v1511 or prior/older are reported as working with CableCard hardware over on theGreenButton forum.

Sorry for being late to the party but I just saw this. My recommendation would be to switch over to tivo edge with an old tivo mini (not vox). Then get a colossus 2 card and a usbuirt. You can also download recordings from the tivo using kmttg, pytivo or ctivo depending on your platform. The tivo is a much more stable platform than the hdhomerun and my family greatly prefers the tivo ui to the sd app or live channels. BTW, did I mention if you do it right, copy once works even in nextpvr.

Wouldn't this just get you a single tuner via the Colossus 2 whereas a Hdhomerun would get you 3 tuners?  Granted the Colossus 2 wouldn't have an issue with DRM via the Tivo like the Hdhomerun would.  I had run something like this for a while with an IPTV encoder in place of the Colossus 2.

The good thing about this is it is scalable. You can use as many colossus 2 cards as pcie slots on your motherboard. Also, the usbuirt supports multiple zones. You can even combine servers using the m3u output capability in the upcoming build of npvr. It is far from limited to 1 card/tuner.
