The sole feature of this new add-on TV package will be the ability to play encrypted (Copy Once) content from cable companies, similar to what Windows Media Center has done.  It is only useful in the United States.

Maybe.  I didn't upgrade my Windows 7 HTPC to Windows 10 so that I could continue to use my Ceton InfiniTV cableCARD tuner with Windows Media Center.

Windows 7 Media Center works fine (with the exception of the crappy Rovi guide that replaced the previous Zap2it guide on Cox Cable Tucson), although the EOL of Windows 7 is some cause for concern.

I would have to read about some specific user success with JRMC TVPlus and the ability to play content previously recorded with WMC along with compatibility with Ceton InfiniTV and Cisco/Scientific Atlanta cableCARDs before I fund "development".

Thanks for the heads up.
