Over the last two years, Silicondust has been attempting to migrate away from Windows Media Center. Protected content playback was available on Android TV using the HDHomerun app. They tried to get the DVR portion moving with Kickstarter project. The DVR worked fine but did not support protected content, like HBO.
Over the weekend on their forum, Silicondust announced the following:
The approvals and certificates for handling protected content came through. The first platform to support protected channels (Live TV) will be the XBox One. Android TV platforms won’t be far behind.
Windows 10 Desktop support will officially enter beta with the next major update of Windows 10 (not far off).
This is great news for the slow moving project.
