Microsoft WMC is dead, done, dusted. But that doesn’t mean that HTPC DVR users have to give up on CableCARD, SiliconDust is trying to build a solution, and now JRiver has started a Kickstarter campaign to see if there’s demand for a second Copy Once capable solution.
It’s day 27 of 30, and they’re looking for $100K (which sounds about right) in funding. If you’re looking for a modern solution from an agile company with a proven track record of delivering constant improvement in HTPC software this could be $20 well spent.
