Okay, that's one way of doing things, I take it what you've outlined is
a U.S. only thing right?
FetchTV also does similar things to what you're talking about, I was
specifically referring to Free-To-Air programming received with a TV
Antenna.

I know that that's not what you're talking about, but we have an internet offer
called Save-TV which for a mothly fee lets you record nearly any program
available and stores the movies/shows for a month during which time you can
download them in various formats.
Obviously it's not the same, but a very good and useful alternative for nearly
every program.
Take care

Subject: Video Recording From Your PC, What's Next?
Hi!
I was very sad to learn that Microsoft have decided not to continue the
development of Windows Media Centre which came as a standard part of
Windows 7 Home Premium and above and was available as an optional
extra for Windows 8.x, it won’t be available for Windows 10.
So what does one do for video recording on a Windows computer.
There’s only one option I know of and that’s XBMC however the last time I
tired this with Windows 7 I couldn’t access it in any way shape or form,
there might be ways to set it up so it can be controlled or accessed from the
XBMC Controller Smart Phone Apps and that’s something I’m investigating.
So - assuming all is lost for Windows - what now?
It looks as though its time to place some faith in the FetchTV Set Top Box.
The Smart Phone Apps are very accessible to the point where you can
schedule programmes to be recorded from the TV guide.
So what’s all this got to do with the Windows PC? The recordings you make
can be accessed by our computer if you want to do things that way, you can
play them with Windows Media Player, VLC or whatever.
