My company is in the process of building a new 50,000 square foot office/showroom/warehouse facility, and I'm planning for (I'm the company IT guy) a dedicated Plex server and a Synology NAS to serve media up to the six 55'-65' TVs that will be located throughout the place.

For now the PC and 50' LG 4K do a terrific job of upscaling regular 1080p Blu-rays and MKVs. I imagine at some point the price of Ultra HD Blu-ray drives for PCs will come down to the point that I can justify the cost of not only that, but having to build a new HTPC that meets all the other requirements to successfully play UHD Blu-rays through a PC. Plex apps on all our TVs and the HTPC, as well as both Plex and HDHomeRun apps on our Windows Phones and tablets make for a nice set-up. I have a Ceton CableCard quad tuner in the HTPC, but also an OTA HDHomeRun that works well.

As it stands I have modified the registry to disable any and all MS updates so that I can keep my HTPC running the pre-Anniversary update version so that Media Center still works.Īs far as removing programs, I've always found that it was better on Media Center to set up the recorded TV directory as a share, then I can navigate to it from any PC in the house and delete old recordings far more easily than the built-in method through Media Center. I'm planning to migrate to this at some point, once MS figures out a way to shut down my hacked Media Center onto W10.
