Wintv 8.5 Alternative

Posted on  by 



I'm looking for a software to replace WinTV (which came with my Hauppauge HVR-950q). WinTV is buggy on Windows 7 and the interface is abyssymal. I just need something simple so that I can listen to cable tv with my Hauppauge HVR-950q. Windows Media Center isn't really an option since I already tried it and I didn't get all the available channels. In this video I describe how to use VLC Media Player and Hauppauge WinTV Extend to stream recorded and live TV from your media center PC at home anywhere in.

Alternatives to WinTV for Windows, Mac, Linux, Software as a Service (SaaS), Web and more. Filter by license to discover only free or Open Source alternatives. This list contains a total of 4 apps similar to WinTV. List updated: 3/8/2012 10:34:00 AM.

I have exodus, covenant, flixnet, genesis reborn as addons.

While I think Kodi is mediocre compared to other options, your running some ancient stuff. You should upgrade to 17.6. and those add-ons are no longer the good ones. They, like numerous other add-ons, quit being updated and attend worth trying.
Get Incursion and Placenta. Check it a site like troypoint or find the links on YouTube videos. I just got a fire TV, and side loaded it easily.
If any of the others you have aren't working, then they're probably outdated versions. Aptoid (sp?) is also a cool alternative app store for Android. Though sometimes their stuff isn't up to date (they only had Kodi 17.5).

I'll be happy to update once I've tried if you're interested.

I'll just go ahead and update you anyway.

Anyone know of a way to put my cable box through to Plex so I can watch cable tv anywhere? I assume it can't be done.

You are correct. You cannot get your cable box to go through Plex. It is unsupported because they aren't supporting other PVR backends.
So, I've painstakingly installed a Hauppauge Colossus 2 into a Win10 machine (fm1 board, a8-3870k chip, no gpu, I believe 8gb RAM, 512gb ssd with all the recording being done on 3x 4tb HDDs in a Windows Storage Space. The live TV buffer is on the SSD).
Installed hardware.
HDMI from cable box---> splitter to strip HDCP (wouldn't work otherwise)
Downloaded drivers and proprietary application (winTv 8.5)
Downloaded NextPVR
Downloaded IRSS (IR server suite from MediaPortal)
Never got Hauppauge blaster software working despite trying.
Had an old Windows Media Center IR receiver with 2 blasters- instantly recognized by IRSS
Ran 'translator' and taught it my cable box (Arris VIP 2102)'s 0-9, Channel up/down commands, then followed the rest of this marvelous guide to get the WMC device to control my cable box's channel
Now that NextPVR is setup, you can allow streaming within the settings, type in the IP address of the computer with the default port (8866), if you haven't changed it.
This also works using the Emby DVR. Now, I am a bit confused- the Emby DVR did not seem to recognize my Hauppauge cards out of the gate. Perhaps I didn't update it and restart as quickly as I should have. That would have saved a lot of headache if that's the case. In either event, this will absolutely work to stream remotely from a browser IF you are careful only to tune to what the PC that is acting as the server is tuned to. If the PC that is serving it up isn't watching, it should work fine anywhere else (I use a PC as my main viewing device, if It's tuned to Channel 2 and I tune NextPVR or Emby clients on another PC in the house, Next PVR will fail and say the transcoding was ended/aborted/stopped by the server. Emby will just hang indefinitely).
Also, I wait about 10 seconds for the server/HTPC to give an actual output from the card over HDMI. Have not tried component.
The GOOD news is that I'm actually replacing this all in about a week with my real HTPC when I finish moving in, and this was just a proof of concept.
So I stick with my initial statement:
You probably want a Slingbox.

I've tried repeatedly to upgrade kodi. I'll try to find these other apps. I will say this. I updated the repositories and the apps and everything is working a 100% better but I still need to update to newer stuff.

mine turns over at midnight and i was at 992GB (out of 1TB) earlier today.
i literally went into my router and turned WiFi access off for my ring camera (no other way to stop it from sending shite to the cloud) and every PC in the house the kids are using.
No way I'm getting out of this month without an overage but I'm pulling out all the stops anyway!

Uninstall Kodi, load Terrarium, be happy.

I am one of the bizarre people who use Kodi on my mac mini in my bedroom just for the media center aspect. I have movies on it so I can use my remote and access all of it since MacOS has gotten rid of their old media center built in.

The new Genesis V8 works great, but the latest Kodi version does not work with the Android TV app on my phone, forcing me to dig around and find the remote.
These things need a little beeper so you can search for them using your phone.
