To avoid giving Time Warner any more money than I have to, I use the HD HomeRun Prime with a cable card (and switched video adapter due their lack of bandwidth). All of this is managed via Windows Media Center on my HTPC and Xbox 360's around the house as WMC extenders. This allows me a whole-home DVR setup and works pretty well.
WMC is no longer supported by Microsoft and it would be nice to not need to use an Xbox 360 at each TV as Netflix, Plex and everything else non-MS only run at 720p on them.
Will Plex Pass work on cable content that is flagged 0x02 (copy once)? Most TW channels are 0x02. Everyone can do 0X00 (copy freely) and that's nothing special. WMC has previously been the only computer based software that is Cable Labs certified and can do 0x02. Can Plex DVR do 0x02 or is it just another run of the mill recorder? I'd be happy to do a $149 lifetime PlexPass membership if it can actually do 0x02. My guess is it won't and probably never will. :(
