Funny that I own the stick and have not seen the commercial. Maybe it's a
Gary Busey ward.

I'm afraid I have to call it the Gary Busey stick. After seeing that
commercial a few times, even when I read it in your email, I hear his crazy
voice saying it. And for that reason, I can't own one!

I'd sell Gary Busey my extra fire stick for 20 bucks. Happy now?

But what about Gary Busey? Are we just not going to mention Gary Busey???

I'll test it out tomorrow and report back. I think a firestick +kodi
could be a good idea, too. It'll stream shows from the Internets,
alleviating the need for a DVR. Fire TV performs a little better, though.

I don't have a tuner card anymore and got rid of it. I don't get over
the air TV where I live so I had to find another way. The benefit is that
it is in a format anything can play I use sickbeard to "gather" my shows
when I download them. I have an Xbox one but it isn't a gaming system for
me. It's my media hub. My wife wouldn't want to live without it now but
was
hesitant to invest. It will play anything but so will a ps3 or 360.

Yeah I use WMC to record live TV shows from an antenna. The file
names are rather obscure and complicated (name of show, then channel,
then
date). That is one thing from the forums
<https://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/comments/197y6o/possible_to_record_ota_channels_via_wmc_and_watch/>
that they seem to say is that you have to rename the files to get it to
work. Another blog
<http://alanpringle.com/streaming-and-sharing-windows-media-center-content-with-plex-and-chromecast/>
said that you just have to put the files in a different folder and then
it
would stream it. Ryan or Loren can you try watching a WMC recorded show
on
Plex and see if you have any issue?
So suggested a XBOX to the wife and she shot it down as "another
gaming system". Also I am concerned about getting a used XBOX that will
end
up dying on me pretty soon. So a new one would cost like $180 to $200,
probably more than I want to spend.
I don't have a Roku yet but they are a pretty decent price for the
new Roku 2.
I looked into Kodi but I wasn't sure how I would play the files on my
TV upstairs. The TV has internet but I think I would need to build a HTPC
for the upstairs TV to run Kodi to be able to view the files that I
record
down stairs on the PC? Maybe there is another way? So I think the cost of
building the HTPC puts it out the acceptable price range.

I have plex on my main pc, a Amazon firestick downstairs and

Yeah, you can pick up a used 360 for a little more than a roku. I
will say though, Plex has come a long way in the past couple years. I
would
check forums and see if there are still issues if you already have a
roku.

It's been a year or two but i had issues with plex and media
center. Plex couldn't encode the tv recordings with protected
content so i
stopped using it all together. For me, an xbox 360 is the best media
extender for media center, it's awesome.
We use media center for all of our TV and DVR.

How are you using WMC? With a tuner card to capture the files in
the pc running WMC? If so that would be a great setup. Point the
Plex
server at the files, install the Plex app on the roku upstairs and
it'll
give you a nice, interface for your shows, movies music etc. And, of
course, a Netflix app also. It's been a while since I've used WMC
so I
don't know how it names the files. Plex needs it to be fairly
recognizable.
Wooties does something similar I think. How does it name the files?

for an option to watch the programs I record on windows media
So I recently moved my computer downstairs so I was looking
center, on
the TV upstairs. Does anyone have experience using WMC and Plex?
Or do you
have any other suggestions on how to inexpensively setup my TV
upstairs to
watch WMC stuff, Netflix, and online TV shows.
