It can't be used as a DVR.

  Aren't DVRs kind of a dying product category? They're only relevant if you have a cable subscription, and most people putting media PCs in their living room are relying on streaming services. I don't know anyone who uses a DVR anymore, but I know dozens of people with Netflix/Amazon/Hulu/etc. subscriptions.

    Here in Europe the situation is mostly the other way around. Netflix is available in most countries for a year or two. Amazon launched only a month ago in most European countries. Also the author mentioned Eye TV which is DVR software.

    Even cable subscriptions include DVR-like features.

    > They're only relevant if you have a cable subscription This is news to those of us who use DVRs to record over-the-air HD broadcasting. My homebuilt DVR is what makes NOT having a cable subscription workable.
