For HTPC box, what software would you use ? Plex, Kodi, etc.. ? And would you run Windows, or a Linux custom distribution (OpenElec, LibreElec, etc..) ?
I just find that HTPC solutions are usually clunky and need too much regular maintenance. It's OK if you don't mind using mouse/keyboard, but for simplicity of sitting back, pick up the remote and just start channel surfing, it is just not there. Now for a Movie playback center only (no live TV), it is perfectly fine.
Other than ProgDVB what other semi decent IPTV software is there for a PC (and please don't tell me to launch an droid emulator and launch STB Emu from that)
