I've been testing all of this on an old laptop we have lying around the house + viewing things on an Amazon Fire Stick. I've looked at a few programs, and I'm wondering if I am just overlooking something, or doing something wrong, or just looking for too much. Using Kodi with NextPVR adds complexity.Okay, so I have posted a bit on reddit about this in the last week - but my PVR (hooked up to a HDHomeRun with a CableCARD in it) with Windows Media Center is starting to crap out. It might be that the deciding factors are that NextPVR is simple and reliable and MediaPortal has lost of addons and is, perhaps, less reliable. nLite is a lightweight and easy to install client that reproduces the NextPVR client appearance and function on Windows and Linus machines (with an Apple Mac version under construction). an Android client for phones and tablets (with an Android TV client under construction). an IOS client for iPhones and iPads (with an Apple TV client planned for the future). Kodi via XNEWA that displays withiin Kodi and has the same appearance and function as the NextPVR software. Kodi via a NextPVR add-on that uses Kodi functions for TV recording and viewing. NextPVR can run as a client on multiple Windows machines that connect to a NextPVR Recording Service on a single machine. NextPVR supports clients that can run on other machines and that can connect to the NextPVR Recording Service. Folks around here prefer NextPVR (obviously) mostly because it is simpler to use and more reliable. MediaPortal performs essentially the same functions in much the same way.
2) is the NextPVR client that you see on screen and can use to view the EPG, to specify the shows that you want to record and to watch Live TV and recorded shows.
1) is NextPVR Recording Service runs continuously in the background and connects to TV tuners and IPTV sources and schedules and records shows. Simply stated, NextPVR is two software components that both run under Windows.
