Here are some shots, The main screen shot is only missing Tasks and Tv from the shot, all other was removed with toolbox. Tv is needed only for the Guide and manual recording. I haven't put much time in to this, so for those with more patience than I have can do a lot better I am sure.
Media Browser and TotalMedia Theatre have their own sits with many screen shots. Media browser has many plugin's as well. They also have a download/forum section where you can find many icons. I used reset toolbox to edit the menu names as well. For example TotalMedia also included Arcsoft in the name. The menu text colors can be changed as well I didn't really put much time into that one as you can see. EDIT: I should add that on the guide you can remove name or the channel number and only have the icon if you wanted. Last edited by Skybolt; 03-02-2014 at 07:13 PM. |

Thank you. That addon list is very helpful.

Sure, there is more with a little digging. There is even a weather plug-in around some where and an IP plugin for HA control as well.
Just remember I am not saying WMC is better than Sage, it's just a good option for those of us who can't use Sage any longer. |

Right now, TiVo offers a USB expander drive that adds 1 TB to your capacity. The downside for some users is that complete programs don't save to the drive; TiVo splits programs between the USB drive and the main as an anti-piracy measure. But again: I haven't made my own DVDs of anything in years, so that wasn't a dealbreaker for me. My Sage server was 4.5 TB, and I never got up to more than 2 TB used in 3.5 years. So the Roamio met my personal capacity requirements. Further, I figured that if I need more space, I could get a cheaper model and stick it on another TV; any TiVos on the same account and LAN can stream / DL programming to each other, leading to a defacto space expansion. |

I seem to remember that even through you can upgrade the drive, you still lose all the recordings if the Tivo fails. I think the drives are linked to the specific box in some way.
Could be wrong though.

That's definitely how they used to be, even the DirecTivos. The first time that happened, I dumped Tivo forever.

Question: Can the Echo do anything better than an xbox 360? BTW: I'm running most of the same items as Skybolt - RecordedTV HD is a must. But for me, I picked a built in theme that most reminded me of SageTV 7. I'm going to be checking out the one that rips out the useless menus! Thanks Skybolt. I was totally unable to get WMC to run reliably on a VM so I have a dedicated HTPC in the basement. I'm also using MCEBuddy to convert files to a format that can be played Via Plex or Media Browser 3 remotely. *sigh* I miss sageTV ...

![]() ![]() ![]() MCEBUDDY is definitely a tool very USEFUL with WMC. I am able to move recordings around To a Shared Nas and all my clients point to it... Metadata and all works on clients no need for extra software.... I also move my DRM protected files to a local none shared folder so other Clients cannot see them. RecordedTV HD is a welcomed addition.

![]() Yeah without RecordedTV HD, MCE is horrible ![]() Have you tried MediaBrowser 3 yet, nice changes - They also have a Roku client as well that supports direct folder rips. |

Haven't tried media browser but will. I am still lucky still only have a few DRM.... but I switched anticipating that eventually Comcast will got to DRM.

Not sure if you have tried it, but with the Roku, it actually transcodes the DVD folder format as well with very low CPU loading. I haven't tried the BD folder structure as yet though.
