If you watch hulu you have no choice but to "do" them.

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?

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.

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?

So I recently moved my computer downstairs so I was

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.
