Right now I have a WMC server/extender setup going with a couple homerun units. Using this to watch live TV on most of the TVs in the house along with being a house wide DVR.
Only real concern I have after using this for awhile, WMC seems to like being on the excessive size for the shows being recorded. I can get anywhere from 2 gb to 4.5 gb per 30 minute session.
I was thinking about doing xbmc or plex for the shows that mostly I only watch (and do so normally from another computer/laptop, so keeping those easy for someone to watch on the extender not an issue. Using either those have an easy to use method to convert the .wtv files to something of a significantly smaller size (and better suited for long term retention?)
